No fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.

This bill would require the election of officers for water districts to be held on a uniform election date unless otherwise provided for in statute.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Moving elections to a uniform November election date supports limited government by reducing the number of elections and increasing transparency in local elections. We support this bill.
