Getting back to the OP's post, I received the following information from the District Staff this morning:

Governor DeSantis announced in a news conference that in addition to a new congressional map they're voting on this week in a special session, lawmakers "will be considering termination of all independent special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968, and that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District."

If passed, this dissolution would only affect Chapter 189 special districts enacted in Florida prior to 1968.

First established in the early 1990s, The Villages Community Development Districts were, and will continue to be, formed under Chapter 190 Florida Statutes, and therefore this has no impact on our community.

In fact, there are only five special districts that could potentially be dissolved. They are:

Hamilton County Development Authority
East Point Water and Sewer District (Franklin County)
Bradford County Development Authority
Reedy Creek Improvement District aka Disney (Orange and Osceola Counties)
Sunshine Drainage District (Broward County)
Please visit Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for additional information.

Bottom line is that it does not affect The Villages or the hundreds of other CDDs in the state of Florida.
