Existing law, the Community Services District Law, specifies the procedures for district formation and the selection of district governing board members. That law also requires a person to be a voter of the district in order to serve on its board of directors.
Existing law, the Uniform District Election Law, provides for landowner voting districts, in which each voter is required to be an owner of land located within the district. Existing law also provides for resident voting districts, which are districts other than landowner voting districts. Existing law provides penalties for prohibited acts relating to statewide and local elections.
Under existing law, the Fallen Leaf Lake Community
Services District is a resident voting district.
This bill would, until January 1, 2021, exempt a person who is not a resident of the Fallen Leaf Lake Community Services District, but who is a nonresident voter, as defined, from any residency requirement for voting in district elections or serving as a district board member and provide that this person is immune from liability for a criminal penalty for violating that residency requirement.
