Bill > SB208

This bill modifies the election procedures for board members in street light maintenance districts. Specifically, the bill changes the election process by requiring that board member elections be held during municipal elections (instead of general elections), with nominations to be filed with the local election authority rather than the board secretary. The bill maintains the six-year term length for board members and keeps the election process nonpartisan, with the candidate receiving the most votes winning the seat. Additionally, the bill introduces a transitional provision that specifies how elections will be handled for board members who were originally elected or appointed in 2020, 2022, and 2024, by aligning their seat elections with subsequent municipal elections after August 28, 2025. These changes aim to standardize and clarify the election process for street light maintenance district board members, ensuring a more consistent and transparent method of selecting board representatives.
