Maddy summaryHB 1307 revises multiple Florida education laws affecting public schools, colleges, and state universities. It renames the "Florida Educational Equity Act" to the "Florida Educational Equality Act," requires schools to provide specific accommodations based on sex (replacing prior authorization with mandate), and establishes new Title IX investigation procedures. The bill also repeals several scholarship programs (including Minority Teacher Education Scholars and Florida Education Fund), changes Hillsborough Community College's name to Hillsborough State College, and modifies scholarship eligibility rules (e.g., disqualifying students with felony convictions from Bright Futures). These changes aim to update terminology, streamline reporting, and adjust program requirements across K-20 education.
