The bill amends section 1011.62 of the Florida Statutes to require school districts and charter schools to develop salary distribution plans that specifically address salary compression for instructional personnel. This includes provisions for those with more than two years of experience and other instructional personnel. The new legal language mandates that before distributing any additional funds received over the prior fiscal year, these plans must be created in accordance with modified salary schedules to ensure compliance with the requirements set forth in the bill.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that each school district superintendent and charter school administrator must submit their proposed salary distribution plans for approval by the appropriate governing body. Once approved, these plans must be submitted to the department by October 1 of each fiscal year. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
