Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to conservation districts; amending provisions relating to the election of conservation district supervisors; providing definitions; specifying applicability; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies how conservation district supervisors are elected and defines "production agriculture" for these elections. Specifically, it clarifies that a supervisor's residency status, determined at the time of election, will remain for their entire term, and mandates that at least two supervisors elected at large must reside in a rural area within the district and be actively involved in production agriculture, which is defined as owning, operating, or renting a farm or ranch for commercial purposes, including raising livestock. Candidates will now need to specify if they are running for a production agriculture position or a general position. These changes will apply to supervisors whose terms begin on or after July 1, 2026.
