Soil conservation dist, supervisors
SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICTS – Amends existing law to establish provisions regarding a reduction in the number of supervisors and to revise provisions regarding terms of office, the filling of vacancies, and quorums.

RS30837 / H0403

This legislation amends Section 22-2722, Idaho Code, to outline how a district can move from a seven member board back to a five member board when the desire arrives. It requires directors to be elected to serve their term, outlines how to fill vacancies. Clarifies what a required quorum is. Makes further technical corrections and declares a state of emergency.

Because it requires no expenditures from any general or agencies funds, there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund or local government.
