The bill introduces a new section, 83.471, to the Florida Statutes, which establishes regulations regarding reusable tenant screening reports. It defines key terms such as "consumer report," "consumer reporting agency," and "reusable tenant screening report." The bill authorizes landlords to accept these reusable reports, which must include specific information about the applicant, such as their full name, contact information, employment verification, eviction history, and the date the report is current. Additionally, the report must be prepared within the last 30 days by a consumer reporting agency and made available to landlords at no cost.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits landlords from charging applicants any fees for accessing a reusable tenant screening report or for application screening when such a report is provided. It clarifies that while landlords may accept these reports, they are not required to do so, and the bill does not alter existing laws regarding the consideration of criminal history in housing decisions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
