ID H0576

Allows abatement district boards to have either three (3) or five (5) members instead of the previously required five members, with the board size determined by county commissioners.

Maintains existing requirements that trustees be resident property owners and registered voters, appointed for staggered four-year terms by county commissioners.

Adjusts initial staggered appointment structure for three-member boards to have two members appointed for two years and one member for four years, while five-member boards maintain the existing stagger of two for two years, one for three years, and two for four years.

Preserves bonding requirements for board officers ranging from $500 to $5,000 as set by county commissioners and maintains ex officio membership roles for county health officers, county agents, and state department representatives.

Declares the bill an emergency measure to be effective immediately upon passage and approval.
