This bill amends the residency requirements for individuals seeking to hold office as a trustee of a drainage or levee district in Iowa. Specifically, it modifies Section 468.506 of the Code 2025 by removing the stipulation that a trustee must reside in the county where the district is located or in a contiguous county. Instead, the new requirement states that the trustee must be a resident of "this state."

The change aims to broaden the eligibility for individuals to serve as trustees by allowing any resident of Iowa, regardless of their specific county of residence, to hold office. This amendment is part of the broader framework governing drainage and levee districts, which are established to manage water accumulation affecting agricultural land and involve the assessment of taxes based on land value improvements.
