The bill amends the existing laws governing the Pasco County Mosquito Control District by establishing term limits for board members and designating geographical subdistricts for representation. Specifically, it stipulates that board members may serve no more than two four-year terms and introduces a system of three designated seats, each representing a specific geographical area within the district. The bill outlines the boundaries for each seat and mandates that candidates must reside in the subdistrict they wish to represent, with only local electors permitted to vote for their respective board member.
Additionally, the bill removes outdated language regarding the staggering of board member terms and clarifies the election process for board candidates, ensuring that each candidate's designated seat is clearly indicated on the ballot. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the governance structure of the Pasco County Mosquito Control District while enhancing accountability and representation for its constituents.
