HB 1782 -- Levee and Drainage Districts

Sponsor:  Tilley

Currently, only owners of 25% of the property in certain drainage
districts can petition a court for re-adjustment of the
assessment of benefits for the property in the district.  This
bill allows the district board of supervisors to petition for
re-adjustment for some or all of the property in the district as
identified in the petition.

The bill also clarifies that property owners or the board of
supervisors in levee districts can petition a court for
re-adjustment of the assessment of benefits for just a particular
part of the property in the district as identified in the
petition.

Drainage districts in St. Louis County are authorized to adopt an
alternative procedure with respect to voting rights.  All
drainage districts are authorized to adopt an alternative
procedure for the apportionment of installment taxes after a
re-adjustment of the assessment of benefits.
