The bill establishes a framework to enhance manufacturing in Florida by creating a Chief Manufacturing Officer within the Department of Commerce, who will be responsible for promoting and coordinating manufacturing efforts statewide. This officer will be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and will work with various governmental entities to align manufacturing priorities and identify gaps in state-supported activities. Additionally, the Department of Commerce is tasked with preparing a biennial report on manufacturing efforts, which will include information on the industry's economic importance in the state.

Furthermore, the bill introduces the Florida Manufacturers Workforce Development Grant Program, aimed at supporting small manufacturers with funding for new technologies and workforce training. The program will be administered by the Department of Commerce under the direction of the Chief Manufacturing Officer, who will also oversee the Florida Manufacturing Promotional Campaign to increase consumer awareness and market exposure for manufactured products. The campaign will require participants to register annually and will include promotional activities to foster growth in the manufacturing sector. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
