HB 2782 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies requirements for votes required to dissolve a public water supply district

HB 2782 outlines the legal process for dissolving a public water supply district in Missouri by updating the requirements for filing a petition. To initiate dissolution, a petition must be signed by at least one-fifth of the registered voters or fifty voters from each subdistrict within the district and must demonstrate that an alternative water supplier is available. The bill mandates that the district's debts be paid in full and requires a court hearing where voters must approve the dissolution by a specific supermajority threshold. If the court finds the dissolution is in the public interest and approved by voters, the district is officially dissolved; otherwise, the petition is dismissed.
