Senate Bill No. 2120 Summary

• Amends section 61-16-07 of the North Dakota Century Code regarding water resource board appointments and composition.

• For single-county districts, boards must consist of an odd number of managers not to exceed seven (changing from three or five).

• For multi-county districts, establishes specific board sizes based on county count: two counties (five managers), three counties (five managers), four counties (seven managers), five counties (seven managers), six counties (seven managers), and seven counties (seven managers).

• Allocates board positions to counties based on aggregate taxable property valuation, giving more representatives to counties with larger tax bases.

• Changes appointment terminology from "board of county commissioners shall appoint" to "must consist of" specific numbers of managers from each county.
