The bill amends existing laws regarding elections for the Arch Hurley Conservancy District by removing it from the Local Election Act and establishing specific procedures for its elections. Key changes include the insertion of provisions that outline the timing of elections, which will now occur on the second Tuesday of October in odd-numbered years, and the requirement for the board of directors to issue a notice of election. Additionally, the bill restores certain election provisions that were previously repealed, ensuring that the district's elections are governed by its own set of rules rather than the Local Election Act.
Significant amendments include the deletion of the requirement for the conservancy district to compile and deliver a qualified elector list to the county clerk, and the introduction of new sections that mandate the board of directors to adopt necessary forms and rules for election administration. The bill also specifies that the general election laws will apply to the conservancy district's elections, with exceptions noted for registration and residency requirements. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline the election process for the Arch Hurley Conservancy District while ensuring compliance with state laws.
