Senate Bill 2496 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to authorize the Westchase District, with certain limitations, to impose an assessment to pay for burying or removing electrical or optical lines, including telephone lines, removing poles and elevated lines using them, and reconnecting such elevated lines to the buildings or other improvements to which they were connected. It authorizes the district to acquire, operate, or charge fees for the use of its conduits for a telecommunications network, fiber-optic cable, an electronic transmission line, or any other type of transmission line or supporting facility. The bill establishes that any or all of the district is eligible to be included in a reinvestment zone or enterprise zone. It provides that, for district purposes, a parking improvement is considered to be a street or road improvement. Other provisions relate to tort liability, changes in the size of the board of directors, the determination of a quorum, the creation of a nonprofit corporation, and membership of the district in a charitable organization.
