The proposed "Resilience District Act of 2025" establishes a framework for the creation and management of infrastructure resilience districts and condominium resilience districts in Florida. It requires a significant level of support (70% consent) from property owners for the establishment of these districts and mandates local governments to conduct public hearings to evaluate petitions based on various factors, including compliance with guidelines and potential impacts on surrounding properties. The bill outlines the powers and responsibilities of the boards of supervisors for these districts, emphasizing transparency in financial reporting and budget publication, while also prohibiting certain configurations of districts and mandating the dissolution of existing special taxing districts under specific conditions.

Additionally, the bill introduces new regulations for condominium resilience districts, requiring associations to provide approved budgets and plans for funding reserves. It specifies conditions under which structural improvements can be made and outlines the management and operational requirements for these districts, including the appointment of a board of supervisors and the process for financial transparency. The bill also allows for the merger of up to five districts established by the same local government to achieve cost efficiencies and includes amendments to existing laws, such as changing the title of chapter 190 to "Community Development and Resilience Districts" and clarifying the definition of "landowner." The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
