Water development district boards can now redistrict their director areas on their own authority, rather than requiring the state Board of Water and Natural Resources to do it. The change allows districts to adjust their boundaries after each census or when district boundaries change, and gives them flexibility to adjust director areas when voting precincts are redrawn, as long as representation remains fair across all areas.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
