The proposed "Resilience District Act of 2025" establishes a framework for creating infrastructure resilience districts and condominium resilience districts in Florida. The bill outlines the petition process for property owners to form these districts, requiring specific information such as district boundaries, written consent from a majority of landowners, and a proposed budget. Local governments are responsible for conducting public hearings to evaluate these petitions, considering factors like the accuracy of the information provided and the potential impact of proposed infrastructure improvements. The act aims to provide uniform procedures for financing projects that address challenges related to rising sea levels and flooding, particularly benefiting smaller communities and condominiums.

Additionally, the bill introduces new regulations for condominium resilience districts, mandating that associations provide an approved budget and a funding plan for reserves. It specifies conditions under which a district cannot be established, such as ownership limitations and ongoing negotiations for dissolution. The legislation also outlines the management structure of resilience districts, requiring a board of supervisors and annual budget publications. Furthermore, it amends various sections of Florida Statutes related to community development districts, allowing for the merger of districts and changing the title of chapter 190 to "Community Development and Resilience Districts." The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
