HF 2290: Relating to the number of members required on the board of township trustees
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
Under current law, the board of township trustees in each township shall consist of three registered voters of the township. Code section 359.17, however, requires townships with a taxable valuation for property tax purposes of $250 million or more to have a board of township trustees consisting of five registered voters of the township. This bill eliminates the requirement that townships with a taxable valuation for property tax purposes of $250 million or more have a board of township trustees consisting of five registered voters of the township. Instead, all boards of township trustees are required to consist of three registered voters, regardless of the township’s taxable valuation for property tax purposes.
