The bill proposes the establishment of the Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys within Florida Memorial University, transferring it from the Department of Legal Affairs. It amends the existing statute by renumbering it from section 16.615 to section 1001.216 and includes several key changes: Florida Memorial University will now provide staff and administrative support to the council, and the president of the university will approve the council's meeting times instead of the Attorney General. Additionally, members of the council will be reimbursed for certain expenses by Florida Memorial University rather than the Department of Legal Affairs.

The council will consist of 19 members appointed from various sectors, including the Senate, House of Representatives, and state agencies, with a focus on studying and addressing issues affecting black men and boys, such as poverty, violence, and health disparities. The council is tasked with proposing measures to alleviate these issues and will meet quarterly, with the ability to request data and assistance from state departments. Members will serve without compensation but are entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
