H.B. No. 2421 amends the Special District Local Laws Code regarding the Save Historic Muny District, specifically extending the deadlines related to contracts and the district's dissolution. The bill allows the district to enter into a contract with the city for revenue from fees collected from municipally owned utility customers, contingent upon the district securing an agreement with the landowner of the historic Lions Municipal Golf Course by May 31, 2027. This agreement must provide for the purchase of the land or a method to preserve it as a public golf course or parkland.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the district must be dissolved by May 31, 2027, unless it has entered into the aforementioned agreement by that date. The previous deadline for both the contract and dissolution was May 31, 2025, which has now been extended. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
