Nassau County
HB 4017 repeals two existing Florida laws (chapters 61-2525 and 69-1331) that governed Nassau County's Recreation and Water Conservation and Control District. It abolishes the district itself and transfers all of its assets and liabilities - including property, debts, and obligations - to Nassau County's Board of County Commissioners. This bill directly affects the county government by consolidating the district's responsibilities under the county commissioners' authority. The change takes effect upon the bill becoming law, streamlining administrative oversight of recreation and water management in Nassau County.
