S.F. No. 2302 - Soil and Water Conservation District Election Districts (Committee Engrossment)
 
Author: Senator Katie Sieben
 
Prepared By: Alexis C. Stangl, Senate Counsel (651/296-4397)
 
Date: March 19, 2014



 

S.F. No. 2302 requires soil and water conservation district board supervisors in one of the seven metropolitan area counties to be elected by election districts.  (Election districts are the same concept as election wards.)  Each board in a  metropolitan county must adopt a resolution establishing the election districts and providing for staggered terms.

Boards outside of the seven metropolitan counties may decide to elect supervisors by district by following the process currently in law.  This act is effective on January 1, 2015, and applies to elections conducted on or after that date.
