SB 1034 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to certain water management districts

SB 1034 updates Missouri's legal procedures for forming and operating drainage districts, directly affecting landowners within proposed districts. The bill requires specific public notices (published weekly for four weeks in local newspapers) before court hearings to form districts and mandates mailed notices to all property owners. It clarifies court jurisdiction across county lines and standardizes notice formats for commissioners' reports on drainage assessments. Key changes include shortened notice publication periods, updated mailing requirements to county assessors' records, and streamlined processes for property owners to challenge assessments. The bill modifies existing statutes without creating new taxes or drainage projects, focusing solely on procedural updates to the district formation process.
