The bill aims to enhance manufacturing efforts in Florida by establishing a Chief Manufacturing Officer within the Department of Commerce, who will be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. This officer will oversee manufacturing initiatives, coordinate with various governmental entities, and provide strategic direction to support the manufacturing ecosystem statewide. The bill also mandates the department to prepare a biennial report on manufacturing efforts, detailing the industry's strength and economic significance in Florida.

Additionally, the bill creates the Florida Manufacturers Workforce Development Grant Program, which will fund projects that assist small manufacturers in adopting new technologies and improving workforce training. The program will prioritize innovative projects and will be administered by the department from the Economic Development Trust Fund. Furthermore, the bill establishes the Florida Manufacturing Promotional Campaign to increase awareness and market exposure for manufactured products in the state, requiring annual registration for participants and allowing the department to adopt rules for its implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
