The bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes to enhance the electronic transmittal of court orders related to involuntary commitment and risk protection orders. Specifically, it mandates that the clerk of the court must electronically submit an ex parte order for involuntary commitment to the sheriff or law enforcement agency within 6 hours of issuance. Similar requirements are established for the electronic submission of summonses and petitions for involuntary services, as well as risk protection orders, ensuring timely communication with law enforcement for effective service.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language to replace "shall" with "must" in various instances, reinforcing the obligation of the court clerks to act within specified timeframes. It also stipulates that electronic copies of orders must be certified by the clerk and served in the same manner as certified copies. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
