The bill amends section 163.514 of the Florida Statutes to enhance the powers of neighborhood improvement districts. It introduces a new provision that allows these districts to plan, finance, or complete structural safety or building compliance improvements, including those required under state or local structural recertification programs. Such improvements must be approved either by a majority vote of the district's residents or by an advisory council composed of residents, provided that such a council has been established by local ordinance.
Additionally, the bill redesignates the existing subsection (17) as subsection (18) to accommodate the new subsection (17). The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026. This legislative change aims to empower neighborhood improvement districts to address safety and compliance issues more effectively, ensuring that community members have a say in the decision-making process.
