CONTENT
House Bills 4315 (S-1) and 4316 (S-1) would amend the county road law and Public Act 293 of 1966 (which deals with charter counties), respectively, to require that county road commissions have between three and five members (rather than three members as currently required).
House Bill 4317 (S-1) would amend Public Act 139 of 1973 (which provides for optional unified county governments) to require that members of a county road commission be appointed as provided under the county road law.

FISCAL IMPACT
House Bills 4315 (S-1) and 4316 (S-1) would have no effect on State revenue or expenditures. The bills would have no effect on local unit revenue but would increase local unit expenditures by an unknown and likely insignificant amount. The impact would depend on how many counties chose to increase the number of road commissioners and the costs of compensating those additional commissioners. However, the bills would permit a maximum increase of two members per commission.
House Bill 4317 (S-1) would have no fiscal impact on State or local government.
This estimate is preliminary and will be revised as new information becomes available.
