Repeals existing Section 40-1404A and replaces it with new provisions requiring countywide highway districts in counties with populations exceeding 200,000 to divide into seven subdistricts, each represented by one commissioner, effective January 1, 2024

Establishes that subdistricts must maintain no more than 10% population variation, avoid dividing census blocks or incorporated cities except where necessary, and prioritize placing the seven most populated cities into unique subdistricts

Requires commissioners to be residents of their subdistrict, prohibits county commissioners, mayors, and city council members from serving as highway district commissioners, and mandates partisan elections with primary and general election processes

Sets commissioner terms at two years for subdistricts 2, 4, and 6, and four years for subdistricts 1, 3, 5, and 7 in 2024 elections, with monthly salaries capped at $1,200 (or $1,400 for the board president)

Authorizes redistricting after each federal decennial census by January 1 of the first even-numbered year following completion, and requires existing single countywide commissioners to serve until January 1, 2025, when their positions are abolished
