Summary

The bill creates a process for declaring a town abandoned when it has not held elections for five years or lacks a governing board and operates essential water infrastructure. It shields counties from the town’s debts and requires the water system to be transferred to a water‑focused entity, while giving the Department of Public Safety up to $100,000 for temporary operation and maintenance of that system.
