MODERATE

This bill re-creates the Resilient Florida Trust Fund within the Department of Environmental Protection, which was scheduled to terminate on July 1, 2025. The legislation extends the fund's life by removing provisions that would have ended it, allowing continued use of the fund for its intended public purposes. The bill also amends the relevant statute to reflect this re-creation and maintains the same termination review process.

Scope change

The bill's scope is unchanged in terms of what the fund does, but its applicability is extended by preventing the scheduled termination date from taking effect.

TIMELINE

Removed the scheduled termination of the Resilient Florida Trust Fund on July 1, 2025, which was required by constitutional mandate.

Added language re-creating the Resilient Florida Trust Fund to allow it to continue operating beyond its original expiration date.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill title description from 'abrogating provisions relating to the termination' to 'deleting provisions relating to the termination' for clarity.

Updated bill formatting from original Senate filing version to Committee Substitute version with different header information and page numbering.
