HB 1361 -- Joint Municipal Utility Commission Act

Sponsor:  Hobbs

This bill allows the governing body of each contracting
municipality in a joint municipal utility commission to vote on
whether or not the commission should issue bonds to finance
various activities related to the production, distribution, and
utilization of water.  Current law requires that the issuance of
bonds for these purposes be put to a vote of the people, not just
the governing body.

The bill requires the approval of three-fourths of all governing
bodies of the contracting municipalities before the bonds can be
issued.
