The bill establishes a new section, 83.471, in the Florida Statutes, which pertains to 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 be prepared within the last 30 days and provided at no cost to the landlord. It mandates that the reports include specific information about the applicant, such as their full name, contact information, employment verification, last known address, eviction history, and the date through which the information is current.

Additionally, the bill prohibits landlords from charging applicants any fees for accessing the reusable tenant screening reports or for application screening. It clarifies that the new provisions do not affect existing laws regarding the consideration of criminal history in housing decisions and does not require landlords to accept these reports. The bill also states that if any local policies conflict with this section, the policy providing greater protections to applicants will prevail. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
