Establishes the Big Cypress Basin boundary and revises tax collection and distribution for basin purposes.

This bill establishes the boundary of the Big Cypress Basin and revises the tax collection and distribution process for basin purposes. It mandates that the South Florida Water Management District set the basin's boundary based on a scientific study by July 1, 2026. The bill also requires that ad valorem taxes collected within the basin be apportioned, with a maximum of 40% for district purposes and 60% for basin purposes. These taxes are to be used for projects and flood control operations and maintenance within the counties where they were collected.
