What’s in it
AI summary Local boards managing drainage or levee districts must notify landowners when they plan to classify land or propose repairs. While these boards must still publish notices in newspapers, they no longer have to list specific cost amounts in the paper if those details are posted on the county's website or in the auditor's office. Additionally, if a proposed repair is expected to cost more than $50,000, a professional engineer must create a report to show the landowners during a hearing.1

The bill provides that the newspaper publication is not required to include a statement listing the amount of the assessment of costs and expenses of construction of improvements as apportioned to each owner if it is posted in the office of the county auditor and on the county’s internet site. The county auditor must provide a copy of the statement upon request.126 by providing for required reports on repairs made to a district as ordered by a board managing the district.
