Bill > SB1060

This bill creates new provisions for public water supply districts, allowing for an expedited process for detaching (removing) land from a district under specific circumstances, and also establishes rules for accepting gifts and donations to pay off debts owed to the U.S. government. The expedited detachment process applies to tracts of land within a public water supply district that are not currently receiving water service, provided that no voters reside in the area, no district water lines are present, no general obligation bonds are outstanding, and the territory is located in a county with a charter form of government, has multiple public water supply districts, and is adjacent to a county bordering a city not within a county. Landowners can petition the circuit court for detachment, and the court will hold a hearing after verifying conditions with the county election authority and the district itself, with the petitioners responsible for costs. The bill also mandates that public water supply districts in specific counties, if they have outstanding debt to or guaranteed by the U.S. government, must accept any monetary gifts or donations to pay off that debt, unless legally prohibited or the donor specifies otherwise, and any excess funds can be used as otherwise allowed by law.
