 TO:     Honorable Fred Hill, Chair             IN RE:  House Bill No. 2969
         Committee on Urban Affairs                     By: McCoulskey

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2969 (relating to the acquisition of land and facilities by a
municipality; authorizing the issuance of municipal bonds) this
office has determined the following:

The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.

The bill would authorize a municipality to acquire land and
buildings, by any lawful means other than eminent domain,  for
the purpose of selling or leasing, the facilities to a higher
education institution which will provide a significant number of
vocational and vocational-technical education courses in the
facility.


The fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
cannot be determined.
