Modifies requirements for votes required to dissolve a public water supply district
HB 923 modifies the process for dissolving public water supply districts in Missouri. It requires petitioners to gather signatures from at least one-fifth (or 50, whichever is less) of registered voters per subdistrict, provide proof of an alternative water supplier, and submit a detailed debt repayment plan. The bill reduces the voter approval threshold for dissolution from two-thirds to four-sevenths of votes cast in a district-wide vote. Crucially, it mandates that all district debts must be fully paid before dissolution can be finalized, with the court overseeing this process. This directly affects water districts, their residents, and potential alternative water providers.
