SUMMARY
Synopsis of HAGC Amendment
The House Agriculture & Water Resources Committee amendment to Senate Bill 250 restores
some deleted language and now states that after the initial authorization of an assessment is
approved, the supervisors shall adopt a resolution in each following year authorizing the levy. To
extend an assessment beyond the period of time originally authorized and approved by
referendum, the supervisors shall adopt a new resolution extending the period of time originally
authorized.
This amendment to SB 250 is identical to an amendment to HB 11. SB 250 is a duplicate to HB
114.
Synopsis of Original Bill
Senate Bill 250 eliminates the ten year limit on financial assessments approved by referendum by
a soil and water conservation district.
