The bill amends the boundaries of the Lee County Mosquito Control District by repealing the existing Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control District and merging it into the Lee County district. This change involves transferring all assets and liabilities from the Fort Myers Beach district to the Lee County Mosquito Control District. The bill also includes a requirement for a referendum to be held on November 3, 2026, during the general election, to seek approval from voters regarding the merger and the new boundaries.
Key legal changes include the repeal of chapter 2001-335, which pertains to the Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control District, and the insertion of provisions that outline the merger process and the referendum details. The referendum will ask voters if they approve of the new boundaries that encompass all of Lee County and the dissolution of the Fort Myers Beach district. The act will only take effect if a majority of voters from both districts approve the measure in the referendum.
