(L. 1998 H.B. 1636 § 1, A.L. 2000 H.B. 1238, A.L. 2004 H.B. 795, et al. merged with S.B. 1155, A.L. 2005 H.B. 58, A.L. 2007 S.B. 22, A.L. 2021 S.B. 153 & 97)

(2010)  Provision, as applied, permitting registered voters who were also community improvement district landowners to cast multiple votes in elections for board of directors violates one-person, one-vote guarantee of Equal Protection Clause.  Also, legislative decision not to impose same age, incapacity, and crime-related restrictions for nonresident voting landowners as on registered voters is irrational and arbitrary.  Day v. Robinwood West Community Improvement District, 693 F.Supp.2d 996 (E.D. Mo.).
