This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes governing sanitary districts in Arizona. It modifies the language regarding the composition of the board of directors for sanitary districts with an area of one hundred sixty acres or more, ensuring that there are "at least" three members instead of "not less than" three. Additionally, it clarifies that directors of a sanitary district organized before the enactment of this section will divide themselves into two classes by lot, with specified terms of four and two years. The bill also updates the percentage of qualified electors required to petition for the conversion of a sanitary district from twenty-five percent to "percent," and it changes the notice period for election announcements from "not less than" twenty days to "at least" twenty days.

Furthermore, the bill increases the maximum monthly compensation for directors from one hundred fifty dollars to $363, with provisions for adjustments based on the consumer price index every five years starting in 2030. It also modifies the language regarding the election process for reorganizing a sanitary district, ensuring clarity in the ballot language and the election procedures. Overall, these changes aim to modernize the governance and financial structure of sanitary districts while maintaining essential electoral processes.
