Current Bill Summary

SCS/SB 1141 - This act allows the owners of a majority of the acreage of a swamp, wet or overflowed land, or other similar property that is located in one or more counties or any city, town, or village in this state.

In levee districts with an assessed valuation of real property of $25 million and which are located in St. Louis County, the board of supervisors of the district is authorized to construct waterlines and other works deemed necessary.

This act allows the board of supervisors of any levee district to adopt alternative procedures by order, resolution, or ordinance, with respect to installment taxes and voting rights. Currently, this power is only reserved for districts with property of a certain assessed valuation and in a county with a specified minimum population.

The act updates certain sections to be consistent with commonly used statutory language.

This act is similar to SS/HS/HCS/HB 1207 (TAT).
