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 in any city, town, or village to form a levee district.

In addition to its other powers, the board of supervisors of the district is authorized to construct waterlines under this act.

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.
