Justice Administrative Commission

SB 758 revises the membership structure of Florida's Justice Administrative Commission. It specifies that the Commission will now include three state attorneys (appointed by the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association president), two public defenders (appointed by the Florida Public Defender Association president), one board-certified criminal defense attorney (appointed by The Florida Bar), and one chief judge (appointed by the Florida Conference of Circuit Judges). Initially, one state attorney and one public defender will serve one-year terms, while others serve two-year terms. The changes take effect July 1, 2026, directly affecting who serves on this body overseeing justice administration in Florida.
