The bill establishes a new section in Florida law, titled "Reusable Tenant Screening Reports," which allows landlords to accept reusable tenant screening reports from applicants. These reports must be prepared within the last 30 days by a consumer reporting agency and made available to landlords at no cost. The bill outlines specific information that must be included in these reports, such as the applicant's full name, contact information, employment verification, eviction history, and the date through which the information is current. Additionally, landlords are prohibited from charging applicants any fees for accessing these reports or for application screening.

The legislation also clarifies that while landlords may accept reusable tenant screening reports, they are not required to do so, and it does not affect existing laws regarding the consideration of criminal history in housing decisions. Furthermore, if any local policies conflict with this new section, the policy that offers greater protections to applicants will take precedence. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
