FISCAL IMPACT
The bills would not have a direct fiscal impact on the State or local units of government. The bills would extend, indefinitely, current authorization for county boards of commissioners to dissolve county road commissions and transfer the responsibilities and duties of those road commissions to the county boards of commissioners. Whether this would create additional savings or expenses depends upon local circumstances.
