Bill > H0009

This bill makes several changes to the laws governing community redevelopment agencies (CRAs) in Florida. Key provisions include: - Requiring CRA commissioners to complete 4 hours of ethics training each calendar year, similar to requirements for other elected and public officials. - Requiring CRAs to follow the same procurement procedures as the county or municipality that created the CRA. - Requiring CRAs to publish digital maps of their geographic boundaries and acreage, and to submit annual reports providing financial and performance data. - Establishing termination dates for existing CRAs, unless the local governing body approves their continued existence. - Declaring inactive CRAs that have reported no revenue, expenditures, or debt for 6 consecutive years, and restricting how they can spend funds. - Enhancing financial auditing and reporting requirements for CRAs. The bill aims to increase transparency, accountability, and oversight of CRAs, which are local entities created to facilitate community redevelopment projects.
