O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1254 by Callegari (Relating to requiring flashing lights to be posted before an intersection at which a photographic system is used to enforce compliance with traffic-control signals.), As Introduced No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
