HB390 changes how Marshall County local laws that assign actions to the county's House or Senate delegation are interpreted, tying those actions to the county's most populous legislative districts.
When a Marshall County local law says an action, power, duty, or authority will be exercised by the House delegation or the Senate delegation representing Marshall County, this act interprets that to apply to the specific districts with the largest populations in Marshall County. For the House, the actions are construed to refer to the two House districts in Marshall County with the greatest and second greatest number of residents. For the Senate, the actions are construed to refer to the Senate district that contains all of Marshall County or the one with the greatest number of Marshall County residents. The act repeals any existing laws or parts of laws that conflict with this interpretation and it becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved.
