Bill > HB420

This bill modifies the existing law regarding the establishment of theater, cultural arts, and entertainment districts by expanding the list of counties eligible to create such districts. Specifically, the bill adds an eighth category of eligible counties: those that border or contain part of a lake with at least 1,000 miles of shoreline. The bill maintains the existing definition of a theater, cultural arts, and entertainment district as a special zone that can be established by a county, city, town, or village that has adopted transect-based zoning or meets specific population criteria. The legislation also clarifies key terms such as "district", "qualified electors", "registered voters", and "subdistrict", which are used in the context of creating and governing these special districts. The bill is part of the "Theater, Cultural Arts, and Entertainment District Act" and provides a framework for how such districts can be formed, including specifying who can vote on their establishment and how they can be structured.
