AB 408 California Assembly · 2013-2014 Regular Session

Municipal utility districts: elections.

Summary

The Municipal Utility District Act governs the formation and governance of a municipal utility district. The act requires specified districts to increase the number of directors on the district board from 5 to 7, as provided. This bill would require a county elections official to submit a certificate of facts to the district board relating to any filings of declared candidacy for a particular ward and inform the board that it may adopt a specified course of action, including appointing a person to the office or holding the election, as provided, if by 5 p.m. on the 83rd day prior to the day fixed for an election no one or only one person has filed a declaration of candidacy. By requiring county election officials to perform new duties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
