Bill Summary - 24LSO-0513 Bill No.: SF0074 Effective: Immediately LSO No.: 24LSO-0513 Enrolled Act No.: SEA No. 0031 Chapter No.: 89 Prime Sponsor: Cooper Catch Title: Special districts-reversal of dissolution for noncompliance. Has Report: No Subject: Providing a process by which a board of county commissioners may reinstate a dissolved special district that is dissolved for audit noncompliance. Summary/Major Elements: Under current law, a special district must be dissolved if the director of the Department of Audit notifies the board of county commissioners of the district's failure to comply with statutory audit reporting requirements. After receiving this notice, the board of county commissioners must declare the special district's board of directors vacant and must fill the board for the purpose of dissolving the district. This act authorizes a board of county commissioners to, by resolution, reinstate a special district or cease the dissolution process for a special district that comes into compliance with the statutory audit and reporting requirements by April 1. The reinstatement can occur only after the Department of Audit certifies that the district has become compliant with the audit and reporting requirements. Before a special district is reinstated, the special district must provide a corrective action plan to the board of county commissioners, which must approve the plan before proceeding with reinstatement. A special district that is reinstated is deemed to have never been dissolved, and the board of county commissioners may: (1) allow the special district to proceed with the directors appointed for purposes of dissolution; or (2) declare the board of directors vacant and fill the board by appointment in accordance with law.
