SB 941 -- DRAINAGE DISTRICTS SPONSOR: DePasco (Mays, 50) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Local Government and Related Matters by a vote of 16 to 0. This bill allows a business owner of property in a drainage district to delegate an individual to represent the owner in matters requiring a public vote involving the drainage district. The bill also allows the secretary and treasurer of the board to be a resident of an adjoining county. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that corporations and businesses own land in drainage districts and need a way to be represented on boards. Often the land owned by individuals or corporations is in more than one county. This will allow people in adjoining counties to be represented. Testifying for the bill was Senator DePasco. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Steve Bauer, Legislative Analyst
