Summary

SB 1440 declares that all existing state, county, city, district and other public entities were properly created and that their borders, past actions, and issued bonds are legally valid. It sets a six‑month window for anyone to challenge those validations, but does not apply to actions already ruled illegal or pending lawsuits. The law is an urgency measure, so it becomes effective as soon as it is signed.
