A. Noxious weed control districts may be organized under the provisions of the Noxious Weed Control Act [76-7-1 to 76-7-22 NMSA 1978] to include the area of any county or counties, or any portion thereof; except that no district shall contain less than one thousand, two hundred and eighty acres nor consist of territory in more than three counties. A district may include any political subdivision of the state or a defined district, or any parts thereof, but no land shall be included in more than one noxious weed control district.
B. The land composing any noxious weed control district need not be in one contiguous body but may consist of separate bodies of land separated by land not embraced in the district. No district provided for in the Noxious Weed Control Act shall embrace territory situated in more than one county except by a majority vote of the resident taxpaying voters residing within the territory in each county sought to be included in the district.
