      TO: Honorable Fred M. Bosse, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 2203
          Committee on Land and Resource Management                              By: Bosse

         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB2203 ( Relating 
to a requirement that a municipality maintain a public record 
of its extraterritorial jurisdiction.) this office has detemined 
the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB2203-As Introduced
         

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
This bill would require all municipalities to prepare and maintain 
maps of their extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).  

This 
bill is not expected to have a significant impact on larger 
municipalities (over 50,000 population), since most such cities 
currently maintain maps of their ETJs.  For larger municipalities 
that currently do not maintain a map of their ETJ, such mapping 
requirements are not expected to have a significant impact relative 
to such municipalities' overall budget.

This bill could have 
a significant fiscal impact on smaller cities that currently 
do not maintain maps of their ETJs.  For example, the City of 
Mason (population 2,000) does not currently have a map of its 
ETJ and estimates the initial cost of such a map at $600 to 
$1,000, plus additional annual costs associated with maintaining 
the map.
