The bill amends existing Florida law regarding the admission to practice law by unauthorized aliens. Specifically, it introduces a provision that licenses to practice law issued under a certain subsection will be revoked on November 1, 2028, unless the license holder provides valid proof of U.S. citizenship certified by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners by that date. This change aims to clarify the status of licenses issued prior to the specified date and establish a clear deadline for compliance.
Additionally, the bill ensures that the repeal of a specific statute does not affect the validity of any licenses issued before the revocation date. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025, allowing time for those affected to prepare for the new requirements.
