House of Origin Cutoff has passed and now we’re back in Committee Meetings to consider Senate Bills. My day started in the House Local Government Committee where we’re considering 5 bills. Senate Bill 5002 authorizes mosquito control districts to enter without hindrance upon lands adjacent to lands within the district in carrying out certain powers and duties, and to cut or remove shrubbery or undergrowth to carry out pest control objectives and establishes that mosquito control districts may treat places where mosquitos are found or likely to exist using integrated pest management methods, a process requiring use of the most appropriate pest control methods and strategy in an environmentally and economically sound manner to meet pest management objectives.
Senate Bill 5110 authorizes local governments to award contracts to the lowest bidder before taxes are applied provided that it gives notice of its intent to do so prior to submission of bids.
Senate Bill 5121 establishes requirements related to collector vehicles in provisions governing local government authorizations for the abatement and removal of junk vehicles as public nuisances from private property.
Senate Bill 5186 authorizes water-sewer districts, in addition to cities and towns, to fix and determine the amount of a public works contractor's surety bond and to whom the bond shall run and makes several technical changes, such as removing outdated language and fixing a reference to recodified law.
Senate Bill 5323 authorizes cities and towns to declare by ordinance what is deemed a nuisance within the city or town, to abate any such nuisances, and to levy a special assessment on the land or premises on which a nuisance is situated to recover the costs of abatement and establishes that an assessment levied against property for the costs of abatement constitutes a lien against the property.
