HB 1286 -- Public Water Supply Districts

Sponsor:  Hoppe

This bill allows the petition for the formation of a public water
supply district to become final and conclusive if the circuit
court determines that the petition has been signed by at least
two-thirds of the property owners within the boundaries of the
proposed district.  Under current law, the petition must have
voter approval before becoming final and conclusive.

The bill also requires the petition publication notice to be
published for three weeks in a weekly or daily newspaper.  As an
alternative to newspaper publication, the notice of the filing of
the petition may be given by certified mail to all property
owners within the proposed boundaries of the district.  Under
current law, the notice must be published for three weeks in a
weekly paper or in 20 successive issues of a daily newspaper.
