The proposed bill introduces a new section, 190.0071, to the Florida Statutes, establishing a structured process for recall elections within community development districts. It allows eligible electors from the district to initiate a recall petition against governing body members, requiring the petition to include the member's name and grounds for recall, and to be filed within a specified timeframe. A recall committee must be formed, and the petition must gather signatures from at least 10% of registered electors within 30 days. The bill outlines the verification process for signatures and mandates that elections be held within 30 to 60 days after the petition is verified, detailing the ballot content and ensuring measures against fraudulent activities.

Additionally, the bill sets forth the grounds for recall, including malfeasance and neglect of duty, and requires that candidates to fill unexpired terms of recalled members be elected at the same election. It emphasizes that candidates must reside in the district they represent and adhere to election laws. The bill also aims for uniformity in recall procedures statewide by repealing conflicting special laws and ensuring that board members elected to the board of supervisors are subject to these procedures. The act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026.
