3. ORD 3133 - Adding Criminal Background Checks to Verify Candidates Qualification to Hold

City Commission · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The City of Kissimmee is proposing changes to its City Charter that will be decided by voters in a referendum. One proposed change would require all candidates for elected office to consent to a background check to verify their eligibility. This measure is currently under review by the City Commission and is planned for a public vote on August 18, 2026. While this item does not involve physical construction, it will set new requirements for candidates seeking office. Businesses involved in background checks and related verification services could find opportunities. Early engagement with the City Clerk's office or the Supervisor of Elections may provide insights into the process and potential needs.
