	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 72, as amended, Holden. Municipal water district: board of
directors.
   The Municipal Water District Law of 1911 provides for the
formation of a municipal water district and the election of a board
of directors of a municipal water district. Existing law requires
directors, except directors elected at the district formation
election, to take office on the first Monday after January 1
succeeding their election.
   This bill would instead require the directors of a municipal water
district, except directors elected at  the   a
 district formation election, to take office on the first Friday
in December succeeding their election.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 71253 of the Water Code is amended to read:
   71253.  Except for the directors elected at  the 
 a  formation election, directors elected to office shall
take office at noon on the first Friday in December succeeding their
election.
