News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[JohnD]

For those wondering, two other special districts intended to be dissolved were maintained during the special session. HB 11B maintains the Sunshine Water Control District in Broward County and HB 12B maintains the Eastpoint Water and Sewer District in Franklin County. As of now, all three bills related to special district have been enrolled but have not yet been signed by the officers of the state houses and presented to the governor.

Actually the Eastpoint bill is 13B. But you're correct. I suspect all three will be presented to the Governor at the same time.

• CS/HB 9B - Reedy Creek Improvement District, Orange and Osceola Counties​

  - Local Bill by State Affairs Committee, Hawkins, Amesty
  - Last Event: Friday, February 10, 2023 - Ordered enrolled

• HB 11B - Sunshine Water Control District, Broward County​

Just to keep this toward toward the top of the threads, no the new bill still has not yet been presented to the Governor.

We are in a Federal Holiday three day vacation. That has slowed things down a bit.

True, except the State of Florida works on Presidents Day.

I'll put it this way, you're either showing that you're working today or on Annual Leave in the employee payroll system. You don't get the day off.

And I will put it this way, productivity counts in a work day, not just showing up. We are all invested, but I don't think this bill is going to going along any faster than any other government entity work.

Whatever. Thanks for the info, Sherlock. It's not a paid holiday.

Nobody said it wouldn't. Like Tiki Birds previously, it will be "under new management." Oh, wait...

Another week and the legislation still has not been signed by the officers of the legislature and presented to the governor. It’s a good thing taxpayers paid for that urgent special session to get things done quickly.

News cycle demanded it like TV breaks in football, dog and pony show starts up next week?

Is there more to this or is it just typical government at work

I honestly don’t know. The other special district bills sit in the same boat. HB 7B has been presented and signed but all three bills related to special districts have yet to be presented. Delaying the CFLTOD (there’s an acronym!) presentation so it can be signed at some publicity event would make sense, but I’m not sure why the other two need to be delayed as they seem like the sort of thing that would be approved without ceremony.

Maybe DeSantis is planning to sign it in front of the Hotel Plaza Blvd entrance during the Tron media weekend.

Just kidding, I have no idea.

You joke but that’s pretty much what I was expecting. Unless maybe a veto is being mulled over to try and come up with something that plays more as a win.

I doubt he'd veto it. It wouldn't have passed the legislature in the first place without his blessing, at least in this political climate.
