HB 1937 -- TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS (Pearce)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Committee on Transportation

Currently, if two or more counties want to establish a joint
transportation development district for a project that lies in
whole or in part within two or more counties, the governing body
of one of the authorities may file a petition in the circuit
court of a county in which the development district is located.
This bill allows a petition to be filed in a circuit court of any
of the counties in which the project will be located.  The
petition must be signed by at least 50 registered voters from
each of the counties and must state the name, voting residence,
and county of residence of each individual petitioner.  The
district and proposed funding will be subject to voter approval
under one election.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2009, FY 2010, and
FY 2011.
