This bill amends the City of Marco Island Charter to establish new procedures for filling vacancies on the city council. It mandates that a special election be held within 90 days of a council vacancy, unless the vacancy occurs within one year of a general election, in which case the council will appoint a qualified citizen to serve until the next general election. The bill also revises the circumstances under which the Governor is required to fill vacancies, specifically stating that if four or more vacancies occur simultaneously or if the council fails to appoint a qualified citizen within 60 days, the Governor will fill those vacancies until successors are elected.

Additionally, the bill requires a referendum to be held on November 3, 2026, during the general election, to seek voter approval for these changes. The ballot will include a question regarding the adoption of the new procedures for filling vacant city council seats. The act will only take effect if approved by a majority of qualified voters in the city during this referendum, while certain sections of the bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
