What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill authorizes email to be used for providing notice of business conducted by the board of a public inland lake protection and rehabilitation district.

Under current law, districts may be created to protect and rehabilitate a lake within the district. When creation of a district is proposed, the county board must send notice by mail to each landowner within the proposed district. Once created, a district board must have an annual meeting, notice of which must be provided by mail to electors in the district.

Read the full summary

Under current law, a district board may levy a special assessment to carry out lake protection and rehabilitation projects or lake management or sanitary service activities. Notice of proposed and final assessments must be provided by mail to each owner, mortgagee, lessee, or other person with an interest in a parcel affected by the assessment.

The bill provides that email is an acceptable method of providing these required notices.
