LEVEES: Establishes minimum requirements for a levee commissioner. (8/1/24)
SB 438 amends the requirements for levee commissioners by removing specific references to "the district" from the statute. This change directly affects the legal framework governing levee districts and the officials who manage them. The bill does not introduce new powers or funding but instead clarifies the language used to define the scope of these districts. By deleting these terms, the legislation adjusts how the role of the levee commissioner is described within the existing laws.
