   11  to read:
   12         189.0311 Independent special districts; charter
   13  requirements.—
   14         (1) Notwithstanding any general law, special act, or
   15  ordinance of a local government to the contrary, any independent
   16  special district charter enacted after September 30, 1989, shall
   17  contain the information required by s. 189.031(3). Recognizing
   18  that the exclusive charter for a community development district
   19  is the statutory charter contained in ss. 190.006-190.041,
   20  community development districts established after July 1, 1980,
   21  pursuant to the provisions of chapter 190 shall be deemed in
   22  compliance with this requirement.
   23         (2) Notwithstanding s. 189.072(2), any independent special
   24  district established by a special act prior to the date of
   25  ratification of the Florida Constitution on November 5, 1968,
   26  and which was not reestablished, re-ratified, or otherwise
   27  reconstituted by a special act or general law after November 5,
   28  1968, is dissolved effective June 1, 2023. An independent
   29  special district affected by this subsection may be
   30  reestablished on or after June 1, 2023, pursuant to the
   31  requirements and limitations of this chapter.
   32         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2022.
