This bill proposes the merger of the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District into the Iona-McGregor Fire Protection and Rescue Service District, which involves amending the boundaries of the latter district. The bill repeals previous laws related to the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District and outlines the transition of governance, stating that the Board of Commissioners of the Iona-McGregor district will assume control and responsibilities. It also specifies the transfer of all assets and liabilities from the Fort Myers Beach district to the Iona-McGregor district, including pension liabilities.

Additionally, the bill mandates a referendum to be held on November 3, 2026, during the general election, to seek voter approval for the merger. The ballot will include a question regarding the amendment of the Iona-McGregor district's boundaries to incorporate the territories of the Fort Myers Beach district and the associated governance changes. The act will take effect only if a majority of voters in both districts approve the merger in the referendum.
