What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes a town meeting to direct a town board to increase the

number of commissioners on a town sanitary district commission from three to five

if the commission is separate from the town board. The bill also authorizes a town

meeting to direct a town board to decrease the number of commissioners on a town

sanitary district commission from five to three if the commission is separate from the

town board, although the town meeting may not direct a town board to change the

number of commissioners more frequently than every two years. If a town board

performs the functions of a town sanitary district commission, the membership of the

commission remains the same as the membership of the town board.
