HF 2258 allows the flood mitigation fund to reimburse costs of approved projects incurred after a project’s approval. It gives the local government flexibility to use these funds to reimburse other city funds to pay for projects. Currently, governmental entities can seek approval for flood protection projects and the use of certain sales tax increments from the fund.

HF 2372 makes changes to the districting process for county boards of supervisors. First, the legislation states that a districting plan for County Board of Supervisors can only be changed after six years and only by a special election. Second, county districts must be drawn using the Legislative Services Agency, similar to the Legislature’s process for redistricting. Third, the bill requires a supermajority vote by residents for counties planning to return to plan three.
