Greater Naples Fire Rescue District; Collier County
HB 4029 changes how commissioners are elected for the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District in Collier County. It replaces the current system with district-wide elections where all voters in the district elect commissioners, rather than electing them from specific geographic districts. The bill also requires that this election change be approved by a referendum vote of the district's residents before taking effect. This directly affects Collier County residents who live within the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District boundaries.
