DESCRIPTION
This act amends certain procedures in the creation of a law enforcement district. Once a petition for creation of such a district is filed, the act provides a process for holding a public hearing on the proposed district. Current law allows the owner of property or any registered voter within the proposed district to object to the proposed district, but does not require a public hearing on the proposed district. Notice of the hearing would have to be published in one or more newspapers having general circulation within the county. Costs of publication would be paid by the petitioners unless the district is formed. If the district were formed the costs would be reimbursed by the district to the petitioners.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
