         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB1053 ( Relating 
to access to neighborhood streets or alleys in certain municipalities.) 
this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1053-As Introduced
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
This bill would allow municipalities with a population of 80,000 
or more to adopt an ordinance to restrict access to a neighborhood 
street.  The municipality would have the authority to install 
and maintain a fence, gate or other structure.  A public hearing 
would be required to enact such ordinances, and notice of such 
hearings would have to be published in a newspaper of general 
circulation.

The cost to municipalities of restricting access 
neighborhood streets would depend on the number of streets designated 
as restricted-access and the type of equipment or structure 
chosen to restrict access.  No significant fiscal implications 
are anticipated as a result of the public hearing requirement.
