FISCAL IMPACT


The fiscal impact of this bill is indeterminate.


Both the State and local units of government would have to modify or erect suitable markers notifying drivers of the new speed limits proposed under this legislation. However, the cost to do so would depend on the number of roads affected by this bill, the number of signs, their size, and placement.
