Senate approves housekeeping update to water development district statutes
Summary
House Bill 10‑72, a technical modernization of statutes governing water development districts, passed the Senate after sponsor said the 26‑page rewrite reflects LRC style and form updates and aligns vacancy procedures with current code.
The Senate passed House Bill 10‑72, a bill to modernize statutory language governing water development districts. Senator Duhamel, speaking for the measure, said most of the code dates to 1984 and the Legislative Research Council reviewed the chapter for style and form updates requested by the districts.
The sponsor said the 26 pages of revisions consist primarily of LRC‑recommended language updates and a conforming change in section 29 to align vacancy appointment procedures with other state code. Committee testimony from water districts requested the modernization but did not propose substantive policy changes.
On final passage the secretary announced 35 yays, 0 nays. The president declared the bill passed and the title was deemed correct.
