The bill amends Chapter 2004-456, Laws of Florida, concerning the West Villages Improvement District in Sarasota County. Key changes include the removal of a prohibition on the district obtaining fee simple title to certain real property, allowing the district to acquire property through various means, including eminent domain, for public infrastructure projects. The bill also revises the election procedures for board members, transitioning from landowner elections to elections by qualified electors as the district's population grows. The new language specifies the thresholds for when board members must be elected by qualified electors, starting with one member once 17,598 qualified electors reside in the district, and eventually transitioning to all members being elected by qualified electors when the population reaches 39,595.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the district's powers regarding eminent domain, allowing it to exercise this power within its boundaries with prior approval from the governing body. The amendments also establish that all governing board members elected by qualified electors must reside in the district and outlines the election process, including the appointment of election inspectors and clerks by the supervisor of elections. The effective date of the act is upon becoming law.
