An Act To Amend The Membership Of The Washington County Budget Advisory Committee

LD 1542 amends the membership structure of the Washington County Budget Advisory Committee. It requires Washington County commissioners to appoint a resident of unorganized territory as a voting member for a three-year term. Additionally, it changes the legislative delegation's process: instead of annually selecting a nonvoting member, they must now select one voting member by majority vote every odd-numbered year (starting October 15, 2025) for a two-year term, with replacement rules for vacancies. This bill directly affects Washington County commissioners, the legislative delegation, and residents of unorganized territory.
