         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1077 ( Relating 
to estimates of, and delinquent assessments for, maintenance 
and operating expenses in certain water districts.) this office 
has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1077-As Introduced
         

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
This bill would revise and make consistent certain laws governing 
the assessments levied by water control and improvement districts, 
water control districts, and irrigation districts.  

No significant 
fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. 
 The increase in the imposition of certain interest rates and 
penalties on delinquent assessments, along with an increase 
in attorney fees, however, would result in increased revenues 
for these water districts.
