Introduced in the House

Introduced by Rep. Rick Jones (R-71)

To authorize the county board of commissioners of certain small counties to place on the August primary ballot a vote to abolish the office of drain commissioner and replace it with the county road commission. The incumbent drain commissioner could veto the county commission vote, which would require a 2/3 majority to pass.
