The bill proposes that the San Carlos Estates Water Control District, currently an independent special district, will transition to become a dependent district of the City of Bonita Springs. This change will take effect on the date specified in the act. The bill reenacts, amends, and repeals a previous circuit court decree related to the district, ensuring that all existing assets, liabilities, and contracts remain intact and are transferred to the new dependent district. The current members of the Board of Supervisors will continue their terms until the City Council members assume their roles as the new board. The bill also outlines the jurisdictional boundaries of the district and stipulates that existing resolutions and policies will remain in effect until amended by the new board.

Additionally, the bill mandates a referendum to be held for landowners of the San Carlos Estates Water Control District by October 1, 2025, and for qualified electors of Bonita Springs on August 18, 2026. The referendum will ask voters whether they approve the conversion of the district to a dependent status under the City Council. The act will only take effect if a majority of both landowners and city electors approve the referendum question.
