Bill > SB1115

This bill modifies the election procedures for street light maintenance district board members. Currently, board members are elected every two years at a general election, but the bill changes this to biennial elections at municipal elections. The bill requires that nominations for board members must now be filed with the local election authority instead of the board secretary. Candidates will still be elected on a separate nonpartisan ballot, with the candidate receiving the most votes winning the seat. The bill also introduces a specific transition schedule for board member elections, with staggered election years for seats originally elected in 2022, 2024, and 2026, to be held at subsequent general municipal elections. These changes aim to standardize and clarify the election process for street light maintenance district board members, ensuring more consistent and transparent local governance.
