Legislative action: The Board took a vote on two bills including HB21-1046, the mutual ditch bill and voted to support the bill. SB21-164, the uniform easement relocation, was placed in the monitor category. The Board of Directors continues to read and analyze potential legislation and we are always happy to hear from our members whether you are in support or opposition of a particular bill.
