The bill amends the existing laws governing the Pasco County Mosquito Control District, specifically updating chapter 2005-322 and chapter 2025-242 of the Laws of Florida. Key changes include the revision of term limits for board members, who will now serve staggered four-year terms, with a maximum of three terms allowed. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners is tasked with designating geographical subdistricts for board elections, which must be nearly equal in population and based on existing political boundaries. The initial subdistrict boundaries must be established by January 1, 2026, and the election for the newly defined seats will begin in November 2026.
Additionally, the bill specifies that candidates for the board must reside in their designated subdistricts and that only voters from those subdistricts can vote for their respective members. However, the residency requirement will not take effect until the November 2026 election for Seat 2 and the November 2028 election for Seats 1 and 3. The bill also includes provisions for the board members' compensation and benefits, as well as the administrative duties and financial disclosure requirements that align with existing Florida statutes.
