COMMITTEE ACTION:
HF 2339 relates to benefited recreational lake districts. To form a district, a Board of Supervisors must receive a petition signed by a specified number of owners of territory located within the proposed district, and within 10 days after a hearing on the petition, must either establish the district by resolution or disallow the petition.

HF 2267 allows a city to adopt an ordinance permitting a civil service employee, such a professional police officer or professional fire fighter, to live in another state. Cities may set reasonable maximum distance requirements, and may allow up to a year for an employee to comply with residency requirements, instead of the current two years. This provision has been developed over several years, and is agreed to by the Professional Fire Fighters, Police Officers Union and League of Cities.

HF 2180 transfers township funds to a school district. Currently, a township may transfer excess funds to a school district where the funds were raised if a petition and the Board of Trustees approves a resolution to do so. A township must close its account if it transfers the funds.

HF 2325 gives the Board of Trustees of a sanitary district a way to modify district boundaries through a resolution instead of dissolving. The resolution must specify the boundaries of the district. The board must file the resolution with the government entity within 10 days of adoption, and must mail notice to residents of a public hearing at the next regular board meeting.
