         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1180 ( relating 
to a certain duty of care owed to a firefighter or police officer.) 
this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1180-Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
         

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          

This bill could result in reduced liability to the municipalities 
affected, since it would allow them to subrogate to property 
owners for money expended on behalf of police officers and firefighters. 
 In a municipality covered by a self-insurance program, the 
amount of money which could be saves as a result of this bill 
would depend on the number of cases which could be subrogated 
to property owners rather than paid by the self-insurance program. 
 Municipalities that purchase insurance policies could see a 
reduction in premiums as a result of the bill.
