HF 711: Relating to levee and drainage districts, by providing for the repair or reconstruction of levees, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions

What it does

BACKGROUND. This bill amends provisions that relate to a levee or drainage district, including subdistricts, where a project (improvement) is constructed to divert or store water in a manner that allows land that would otherwise be saturated to instead be used for development, including agricultural production (Code chapter 468). A district is established and managed by different forms of local governing bodies, including a board of supervisors or joint boards of supervisors governing intercounty districts.
