Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The provisions of the proposed legislation would terminate the Municipal Home Rule Pilot Program and the Municipal Home Rule Board. However, any municipality would have the option of adopting for its use any ordinance, act, resolution, rule or regulation which had previously been enacted by another municipality in accordance with the Municipal Home Rule Pilot Program. The enactment of the proposed legislation would eliminate any costs paid from State funds to maintain the operations of the Municipal Home Rule Board. However, cost accumulation data maintained in the OASIS Accounting System is not sufficiently detailed to identify and separate those expenditure, but it would be reasonable to assume such costs are minimal in nature.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The enactment of the proposed legislation would result in minimal, but unidentified cost savings to the State’s General Fund budget resulting from the termination of the Municipal Home Rule Board. The primary impact of the proposed legislation would be the termination of the Municipal Home Rule Pilot Program and the Municipal Home Rule Board.
On a going forward basis, there could potentially be impacts to revenue streams of the various municipalities around the State assuming they would elect to utilize the provisions contained in the proposed legislation and adopt any previous actions authorized by the Municipal Home Rule Pilot Program. However, it is not possible to determine which municipalities might seek to use this authority in the future or what the potential changes in local government streams would be as of the result of such action.
