Community development districts may enforce deed restrictions regarding synthetic turf, exempting them from state preemption rules that otherwise prohibit local governments from banning compliant synthetic turf on single-family residential properties

Elected board of supervisors members who have served at least one-fourth of their term may be recalled by qualified electors through a two-stage petition process requiring 10% of registered electors for the initial recall petition and 15% for the referendum petition

Grounds for recall are limited to malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, drunkenness, incompetence, permanent inability to perform duties, or conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude

Recall referendum must be held between 30 and 90 days after certification, with the recall committee required to pay costs for signature verification and the referendum itself

Recalled members or those who resign after a petition is filed are barred from board appointment for 2 years, and violations of petition requirements constitute a second-degree misdemeanor
