SB 1094 -- SPECIAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS IN SPRINGFIELD

SPONSOR:  Champion (Wright, 137)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 13 to 0.

This bill allows the City of Springfield to dissolve special
business districts.  Any proceeds from the disposal of the assets
of a district will be used by the city for the purposes of the
district within the former district's boundaries.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the statutes do not specifically
provide for the dissolution of a special business district, so
the bill is needed to allow the City of Springfield to do so and
to use the proceeds in a more effective manner.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Champion; and Jacob Franks,
Assistant City Attorney for the City of Springfield.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
