The bill proposes to transfer the Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys from the Department of Legal Affairs to the Department of Education, renumbering it as section 1001.216 of the Florida Statutes. It mandates that the Department of Education will provide staff and administrative support to the council, and the meeting times will be approved by the Commissioner of Education instead of the Attorney General. Additionally, members of the council will be reimbursed for certain expenses by the Department of Education rather than the Department of Legal Affairs. The council will consist of 19 members appointed from various sectors, including state legislators, department secretaries, and community representatives, and will focus on studying and proposing measures to address issues affecting black men and boys.

The bill outlines the council's responsibilities, including conducting systematic studies on conditions such as homicide rates, poverty, and health issues, and developing strategic programs to establish local councils. It allows the council to access data from state departments, request research assistance, and apply for funding to support its activities. The council is required to meet quarterly and issue an annual report detailing its findings and recommendations. Members will serve without compensation but are entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
