Bill > S0084

This bill amends existing Florida law to add a minimum population standard as a criteria that must be met before qualified electors of an independent special district can commence a municipal conversion proceeding. The bill specifies that the independent special district must meet the minimum population standards outlined in Section 165.061(1)(b) of the Florida Statutes in order to initiate this municipal conversion process. The bill provides context by explaining that independent special districts are improvement or stewardship districts with elected governing boards that provide at least four municipal services, and that are not located within the jurisdictional limits of a municipality.
