The bill amends the Lee County Home Rule Charter to establish requirements for the composition and election of the County Commission. It introduces a new structure whereby, starting with the 2028 general election, the Board of County Commissioners will consist of five members elected from single-member districts, rather than at-large. The bill specifies that these members will serve staggered four-year terms, and the current staggering of terms will remain unchanged for Commissioners in Districts 2 and 4 until the 2030 general election.

Additionally, the bill mandates a referendum to be held on November 3, 2026, during the general election, to allow voters to decide on the adoption of these changes. The referendum will ask voters if they approve the amendment to the Home Rule Charter that transitions the election of County Commissioners to a single-member district system. The bill stipulates that it will only take effect if approved by a majority of the qualified electors of Lee County in the referendum, while certain sections will become law immediately upon passage.
