The bill amends the legislation governing the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District by revising its district boundaries to include specific sections and townships within St. Lucie County. A significant change is the removal of the term "wholly" from the description of the district's location, which alters how the geographical scope of the district is defined. The bill also mandates a referendum to be held on November 3, 2026, during the General Election, allowing qualified electors in the newly proposed areas to vote on whether the district should be authorized to provide services and exercise powers as outlined in its charter.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that it will take effect upon approval by a majority vote of the qualified electors in the proposed areas, except for the sections regarding the referendum, which will take effect immediately upon becoming law. This legislation aims to update the operational framework of the mosquito control district to better align with current geographical and administrative needs while streamlining the focus on the referendum process.
