Bill Caption
Relating to franchises granted by navigation districts.
Fiscal Notes
From the Legislative Budget Board: no fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Under current law, a navigation and canal district may grant franchises to people or corporations on certain property owned or controlled by the district for no longer than 30 years. SB 1129 would change the term from 30 years to 50 years.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This is a procedural bill regarding powers of navigation and canal commissions and does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
