HB 1350 -- COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS

SPONSOR:  Liese

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on
Miscellaneous Bills and Resolutions by a vote of 10 to 0.

This bill changes the term of office for directors of boards of
community improvement districts that are political subdivisions.
Currently, half of the directors serve two-year terms and the
other half serve four-year terms.  If there is an odd number of
directors elected, the director receiving the least number of
votes will serve a two-year term.  For districts formed on or
after the effective date of the bill, the bill requires that half
of the directors will serve two-year terms and half will serve at
least three-year but no more than four-year terms.  The bill
makes the corresponding change for boards of directors that are
appointed by municipalities.

The bill has an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill corrects a problem in
current law and provides shorter terms to encourage participation
on boards.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Liese; and Robinwood
West Community Improvement District.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
