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 transition will take effect on the date specified in the act, which includes the reenactment, amendment, and repeal of a previous circuit court decree related to the district. The bill outlines that the current members of the Board of Supervisors will continue their terms until the City Council members of Bonita Springs assume their roles as the new board. Additionally, the bill specifies the jurisdictional boundaries of the district and states that all existing assets, liabilities, and contracts will remain intact and enforceable under the new structure.

To facilitate this transition, the bill mandates a referendum to be held for both landowners of the San Carlos Estates Water Control District and qualified electors of the City of Bonita Springs. The referendum will determine whether the district will officially become a dependent district of the city, with the City Council serving as its governing board. The bill stipulates that the referendum for landowners must occur by October 1, 2025, while the election for city electors will take place on August 18, 2026. The act will only take effect if a majority of both groups approve the referendum question.
