The bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes to establish new criteria for the election of county commissioners, district school board members, and district school superintendents. It mandates that county commissioner districts be based on the population of the county, with specific membership numbers determined by population brackets. Each commissioner must be nominated and elected by qualified electors residing in the same district, and the terms of office for commissioners will be staggered. The bill also repeals previous provisions related to alternate election procedures for county commissioners and school board members, ensuring single-member representation.

Additionally, the bill revises the membership structure of district school boards to align with the population-based criteria established for county commissioners, requiring that the membership be identical to that of the county commission. It specifies that district school board members must also be elected by qualified electors from the same school district. The bill repeals several sections related to previous election procedures and residency requirements for school board members, streamlining the election process. The act is contingent upon the approval of a related constitutional amendment.
