36­1­136

50

In a provision concerning the granting of rights­of­way by the state board of land commissioners, deletes a reference to section 36­1­112 (1) (q) where the filing fee for such grants was specified.

24­90­107 (3)(c)(III)(A)

59

Changes the phrase "of any precinct" to "in every precinct" to conform to the legislative intent of an amendment made to H.B. 97­1055 in Senate Local Government Committee. The provision states that the number of signatures needed on a petition to require counties to pay fifty percent of the costs of an election for the establishment of a library district shall be equal to a specified percentage of the votes cast in the previous general election in the district. The phrase "of any precinct" was added to address testimony that indicated that the boundaries of certain library districts could split voting precincts. The phrase was intended to require that the number of signatures equal a percentage of all of the votes cast in any precinct which was included in the district. However, a literal reading of the phrase could alternatively be interpreted as allowing the counting of only the votes in one precinct (i.e., by selecting any precinct). The phrase is changed to make it clear that all votes in all precincts included in the district are counted.
