Current law requires the management of a refuse disposal district by a board of directors; each municipality in the district may appoint one or more directors and the number of votes allotted to each director is determined by the population of the municipality the director represents. A director may not split the votes allotted to that director. If, however, a municipality is represented by more than one director, the law is silent on whether the directors of that municipality must vote together or may vote separately.

This bill specifies that directors from the same refuse disposal district do not have to vote together but may vote independently of each other.
