Local Government Impact
  
The provisions of the bill would authorize a county to alter speed limits
on county roads and would set what the minimum speed could be.  Counties
that would choose to change the speed limits would incur the costs of
changing the speed limit signs.  According to the Texas Association of
Counties, the cost per sign would be approximately $260.

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
