This could get interesting.

The special district laws also apply to The Villages. Not to the local districts but to the ones which have all the golf courses and such, where Gary Morse set them up to where nobody lived in them and he (and now his heirs) could run them in perpetuity by having loyal employees on the "boards".

And remember, The Villages is a VERY conservative area. This could backfire badly.

Are The Villages specifically under the Sandy Creek district?

Or are they under a different district and would potentially be revoked down the road?

The Villages are a Community Development district - not a special district


Also, the House staff analysis says only 5 Districts are affected by the bill:
 
The following five districts appear to operate pursuant to a charter, which predates the 1968 Florida Constitution and was not reestablished, re-ratified, or otherwise reconstituted by a special act or general law after November 5, 1968:
· Bradford County Development Authority, Bradford County.
· Sunshine Water Control District, Broward County.30
· Eastpoint Water and Sewer District, Franklin County.
· Hamilton County Development Authority, Hamilton County.
· Reedy Creek Improvement District, Orange and Osceola Counties.
