County attorney briefs commission on private acts including school board expansion
Summary
The county attorney reported that Private Chapter 33 would increase the school board from six to seven members effective with the 2032 election and must be adopted by a two‑thirds vote; a separate private act would formalize development tax distribution and the attorney will provide guidance on whether to adopt it.
The county attorney briefed the commission on two private acts recently adopted by the General Assembly.
He said Private Chapter 33 would increase the number of school board members from six to seven and "would not take effect until the election that occurs in 2032." The attorney said adopting the private act locally would require a two‑thirds vote and that the county has until December to adopt it if it chooses.
The second private act referenced how the development tax is distributed. The attorney said he is not certain whether the county needs to adopt that private act, because in prior years the county adjusted distribution by resolution rather than a private act. He told commissioners he would review the matter further and provide guidance at the next meeting.
No formal decision by the commission was recorded in the workshop transcript; the attorney indicated he would return with more information and a recommendation.
