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 stipulates that the current members of the Board of Supervisors will continue their terms until the City Council members assume their roles as the new board. Additionally, the bill outlines the jurisdictional boundaries of the district and ensures that all existing assets, liabilities, and contracts remain intact during the transition.

To facilitate this change, 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 specifies the timing of the referendums, with the first for landowners occurring on or before October 1, 2025, and the second for city electors on August 18, 2026. The act will only take effect if a majority of both groups approve the referendum question.
