DESCRIPTION

This act would allow 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, third or fourth class cities, or any city, town, or village within the state to form a levee district. 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 legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
