No significant fiscal implication to the State.
Local Government
There could be costs to a county that chooses to establish a digital
message display system. However, it is assumed that a county would
establish a system only if sufficient funds were available or it would
not result in a negative fiscal impact; therefore, no significant fiscal
impact is anticipated.
