It is the intent of the legislature that the authority created by this article is a dependent special district within the definition of F.S. § 200.001(8)(d) and not an independent special district within the provisions of F.S. §§ 190.049, 165.022 and 165.041, or any other applicable provision of general law. In recognition of such legislative intent it is hereby declared that the provisions of F.S. §§ 190.049, 165.022 and 165.041 or any other applicable provision of general law shall not be construed or interpreted to prohibit or restrict the creation of the authority by special law.
