What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.

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.
