The Florida Senate

2024 Florida Statutes

F.S. 189.0312
189.0312 Independent special districts; term of office.
(1) A member elected by the qualified electors of the district to the governing body of an independent special district may not serve for more than 12 consecutive years, unless the district’s charter provides for more restrictive terms of office. Service of a term of office that commenced before November 5, 2024, does not count toward the limitation imposed by this subsection.
(2) This section does not apply to a community development district established under chapter 190, or an independent special district created pursuant to a special act that provides that any amendment to chapter 190 to grant additional powers constitutes a power of the district.
(3) This section does not require an independent special district governed by an appointed governing body to convert to an elected governing body.
