H.B. No. 5693 amends the election process for the commissioners of the Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7. The bill establishes that the district will hold elections on a uniform election date in November of each odd-numbered year to elect the appropriate number of commissioners. It specifies that commissioners will serve staggered four-year terms and that no more than one commissioner may be elected from any single municipality, provided that five municipalities exist within the district. Additionally, a quorum for conducting business will consist of a majority of the commission.

The bill outlines specific election dates, including an election for two commissioners in November 2025 and another for three commissioners in November 2027. It clarifies that current commissioners will serve until their successors are qualified following these elections. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and has fulfilled all necessary legislative requirements for passage.
