The bill, HB 4059, amends Chapter 2017-220 of the Laws of Florida to expand the Sunbridge Stewardship District to include areas of the City of Orlando, revising governance and operational aspects of the district. Key changes include the requirement for district governing board elections to involve officials from both Osceola and Orange Counties, and stipulations that general obligation bond elections and non-ad valorem maintenance taxes must occur in both counties. The bill also introduces a referendum process and mandates that required notices be published in both counties. Additionally, it clarifies that the district will not have comprehensive planning or zoning powers, ensuring its operations align with the comprehensive plans of both Osceola County and the City of Orlando.

Furthermore, the bill introduces specific legal language to delineate property descriptions and rights-of-way in Osceola and Orange Counties, including detailed surveying instructions and boundaries for various parcels of land. It modifies the election process for board members based on population thresholds, increasing the figures for electing members from qualified electors. The bill also expands the district's powers, allowing for public-private partnerships and clarifying the process for issuing general obligation bonds. It emphasizes transparency in financial planning and operations, requiring public hearings and notices for special assessments, while ensuring that the establishment of the district does not interfere with existing county obligations. Overall, HB 4059 aims to enhance the operational capabilities of the district while promoting collaboration with local governments.
