Bill > SB625

This bill clarifies the responsibilities of a public service district's board when the district is being dissolved, sold, or merged. Specifically, it states that if a county commission has already ordered the dissolution and sale or merger of a water or sewer public service district and received approval from the Public Service Commission (a state agency that regulates utilities), then the board of the dissolving district no longer needs to hold its own notice and hearing or get separate board approval for the sale. Instead, the board of the dissolving district is required to cooperate with the county commission in selling the district's assets and must sign any necessary documents for the transfer. This aims to streamline the process when a county commission is already overseeing the dissolution and sale of a public service district's water, sewer, stormwater, or gas system.
