ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Florida residents may soon have the authority to recall elected Community Development District board members under a bill currently heading to the governor\u2019s desk. <\/p>\n

The legislation provides a mechanism for homeowners to remove local officials for specific types of misconduct and professional failures.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers filed the measure following a governance dispute in Osceola County last year. <\/p>\n

Residents of the Concorde Estates community alleged that their Community Development District (CDD) board spent nearly $1 million in 20 days without holding a public vote.<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation establishes specific criteria that would allow residents to initiate a recall petition. <\/p>\n

Under the bill, Community Development District board members can be recalled for malfeasance, neglect of duty, incompetence and drunkenness.<\/p>\n

The push for the new law began after residents of Concorde Estates in Osceola County raised concerns regarding board transparency. <\/p>\n

The bill has been sent to the governor for final review. <\/p>\n
