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


It is assumed that school districts that donate property would consider
the costs of not having sold the property. Because the bill does not
require the donation of property, any loss of potential revenue would be
based on a decision made by the school district.
