Local elected officials and other residents have already spent a lot of time debating the merits of State Rep. Keith Perry’s proposed bill regarding Gainesville Regional Utilities’ governance structure, but it wasn’t until today that Perry officially filed it.

You can read the bill in its entirety here. To become effective, it would require the approval of voters via a referendum.

Perry filed a bill last year that, like this one, also would have put the GRU governance issue to a vote, but it never got a hearing and eventually died.

So far, Perry’s new governance legislation proposing an independent oversight board for Gainesville’s utility includes other stipulations that area officials have questioned.

The Gainesville City Commission even voted unanimously last month to oppose Perry’s bill.
