They can also enter contracts, including joint agreements, and provide insurance, training, and other essential services. Moreover, districts can acquire property both within and outside their boundaries, even with eminent domain, but must cover relocation costs if affecting utilities. They are permitted to construct works on public roads and lands with approval, and generally do what's needed to fulfill their roles.

Each district must create specific rules and procedures for purchases not covered by existing state contracting laws. These rules should be in accordance with guidelines set by the state.

This provides districts flexibility in how they manage procurement, especially for specialized projects or programs.

This law allows a district to request a legal document called an inspection warrant. This warrant permits district employees to enter a property to check for public nuisances, which are issues that negatively affect the community and need fixing.
