DESCRIPTION
Currently, the counties of Douglas, Ozark, and Wright are members of the Upper White River Basin Watershed Improvement District.
This bill excludes those counties from the watershed improvement district and allows those counties to be removed from a watershed district upon the filing of a petition signed by at least 20% of the qualified voters of the county requesting removal and upon county-wide voter approval at the next general election.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
