SB 6642: Port commissioner elections

Limiting voters of a port commissioner district to elect commissioners in districts with populations of five hundred thousand or more.

Summary

  • When the population of the port district is 1 million or more, the port district must be divided into commissioner districts. The county population threshold of 500,000 is removed so that all countywide port districts with three commissioner positions and three commissioner districts in counties with three legislative districts must use the county legislative authority districts as the port commissioner districts.
