The bill proposes the transition of the Plantation Acres Improvement District from an independent special district to a dependent district of the City of Plantation. It includes the repeal of several chapters of Florida law that previously governed the independent district, which will now be replaced by city ordinances. The assets, liabilities, financial allocations, and contracts of the independent district will remain intact and will be assumed by the dependent district. The city council and mayor will take over the roles of the board of supervisors, and existing resolutions and policies will remain effective until modified by the city.
Additionally, the bill mandates a referendum to be held by October 1, 2026, allowing qualified voters of the Plantation Acres Improvement District to decide on the dissolution of the independent district and its conversion to a dependent district. If the majority votes in favor, the transition will take effect on the same date. The bill emphasizes the need for efficient public service delivery and the elimination of duplicate services, aiming to enhance the management of resources within the city.
