On the record
Anita Geraci-Carver's tenure as Groveland City Attorney spanned the city's regulatory architecture buildout — Eco-Agrarian Lifestyle Code adoption October 2025, CDC V5 drafting through 2025-2026, the institutional response to SB 180's August 2024 retroactive line. Her departure mid-EAR-amendment cycle and mid-CDC-V5 drafting is operationally significant: Groveland is the city most exposed to SB 180 preemption (the Eco-Agrarian Code is post-line; CDC V5 is still being authored inside the freeze window that runs to October 1, 2027).
The parting line on April 2, 2026 — "All bills failed. Bill 180 expires June 2026" — was a substantive update on Florida's 2026 legislative session, and half of it was wrong. The repeal attempt did fail — but the bill that failed was SB 840, the fix that would have moved the sunset forward to June 30, 2026. Its death in House subcommittee on March 13, 2026 left SB 180 in force longer: Ch. 2025-190 §28 runs to October 1, 2027 and expires June 30, 2028. The inference propagated through the corpus before being corrected; see The Window That Reloads. The next Groveland City Attorney inherits the SB 180 clock and the CDC V5 drafting under it.
