COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation and Motor Vehicles by a vote of 20 to 0.

This bill establishes the procedures for disincorporation of a

petition must be submitted to the clerk at least eight weeks
prior to a countywide election.  The county clerk must certify
the question to be put before the voters.  The county commission
will be required to disincorporate a road district if a majority
of the voters voting on the question are in favor of the
proposition.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say the bill establishes a procedure to
terminate a special road district.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Emery.
