Bill > HB0429

This bill modifies existing laws regarding the withdrawal of areas from special districts, particularly focusing on garbage disposal districts. It introduces new procedures for initiating withdrawal, including a detailed process for counties or municipalities to withdraw from garbage disposal districts by first issuing a notice of intent, followed by a mandatory feasibility study conducted by an independent consultant to assess the functional and financial implications of the separation. This study will analyze asset and debt allocation, employee impacts, and other relevant factors, with the results presented at public hearings before a final withdrawal resolution can be adopted. The bill also clarifies that property in a withdrawn area may continue to be taxed to cover its proportionate share of existing district bonds, and it sets specific timelines for filing withdrawal notices with the lieutenant governor and recording them with county recorders, with the withdrawal becoming effective upon the lieutenant governor's issuance of a certificate of withdrawal.
