RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

The bill provides for, among other provisions, the addition or removal of territory and the dissolution of the district. Subject to certain municipal consent, a development agreement, and certain other requirements, the district's powers and duties include the authority to issue obligations and impose assessments. The bill subjects the authority of the district to issue bonds payable from revenue derived from assessments on real property in the district to special bond provisions and requirements. The bill prohibits the district from exercising the power of eminent domain.
