This bill amends R.S.4:24-18 to allow soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors. The new legal language specifies that each district must have "at least five supervisors," who are appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee, which is also given the authority to determine the maximum number of supervisors for each district. The previous law mandated a fixed number of five supervisors.

The bill aims to provide greater flexibility in the governance of soil conservation districts by enabling them to expand their supervisory boards as needed. This change is intended to enhance the effectiveness of soil conservation efforts by allowing districts to adapt their leadership structures to better meet local needs. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
