Makes the following changes in the statutes governing soil and water conservation districts: (1) Amends the statement of the general assembly's policy on the management of soil and water resources to include the goal of protecting and improving soil quality. (2) Eliminates the condition that, to be an elected supervisor on the governing body of a district, an individual must occupy a tract of land larger than ten acres. (3) Changes certain voting procedures. (4) Requires the supervisors of a district to provide supervision for employees of the district.
