Chapter No. 2026-135
Summary
The bill forces municipal utilities to put any new or changed agreement to provide electric, water, gas or sewer service to other municipalities or non‑city areas in writing and to hold a public meeting with the affected local governments before the agreement takes effect. It also sets how water and sewer rates, fees and surcharges can be charged to customers outside city boundaries and requires annual public customer meetings and yearly reports to the Florida Public Service Commission. The goal is to make municipal utility services more transparent and accountable.
