Concerning county ferry districts.

Summary

  • Creates a referendum option prior to the establishment of a county ferry district for the voters of any county ferry district that is intended to be created in only a portion of the county.
  • Removes the one reference to passenger-only ferry service from the statutes governing the formation and operation of a county ferry district.
