The proposed bill establishes the "Bocilla Islands Chain Conservation District" in Charlotte County, aimed at preserving the fragile barrier islands, including Thornton Key, Palm Island, Knight Island, Don Pedro Island, and Little Gasparilla Island. The bill includes legislative findings that highlight the islands' natural beauty and biodiversity, emphasizing the need for conservation. It restricts the density of dwelling units to one per acre or per platted lot, limits commercial and industrial land use to areas zoned for such purposes before the act's effective date, and imposes height restrictions on buildings. Additionally, it prohibits the expansion of infrastructure unless necessary for public health and safety.

The act also allows property owners within the district to enforce its provisions through civil proceedings without needing to prove that violations specifically affect their property rights. It ensures that existing local government regulations remain in effect unless the act's provisions are more restrictive. The bill mandates that a certified copy be recorded in the public records of Charlotte County and takes effect upon becoming law.
