Additionally, it specifies that the board will adopt comprehensive plans for wastewater management and outlines the process for appointing and managing board members.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for the Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District, allowing its board of managers to be reduced from five to three members, with specific guidelines for filling vacancies and ensuring staggered terms. The effective date of the bill is contingent upon compliance with certain statutory requirements by the governing bodies involved. The repeal of a specific subdivision from the original law is also included, streamlining the governance structure of the sanitary sewer board.
