The amendment replaces the language in the bill regarding nominations and elections of trustees with a cross-reference to the corresponding language in the Standard Water District Enabling Act and incorporates by reference a provision for filling vacancies on the board which was omitted from the bill. The amendment provides language regarding the transition from appointed to elected trustees.
