SB 791 - The act provides that if the county governing body does not appoint a trustee to fill a vacancy on the board of trustees for a common sewer district within 60 days, then the remaining trustees may fill the vacancy. Under current law, the advisory board for a common sewer subdistrict must elect a chairman, vice-chairman, and a representative to the common sewer district's advisory board. The act allows the same person to serve in more than one of these roles if the subdistrict's advisory board is less than 3 people. The act allows the board of trustees for the common sewer district to appoint advisory board members to the subdistrict's advisory board, if a political subdivision does not fulfill its duty to appoint such advisory board members within 60 days. Under current law, sewer districts may not issue bonds unless 4/7ths of the voters within the district approve. The act reduces the 4/7ths requirements to a simple majority. Current law requires water companies and public water supply districts to make water service data available to cities that provide sewer services so that the cities can better calculate rates for service. The act requires the water providers to also make this information available to sewer districts. ERIKA JAQUES
