The bill amends Florida Statutes concerning public lodging and food service establishments by revising definitions and procedures for guest removal. It clarifies the terms "transient" and "nontransient" public lodging establishments, emphasizing "consecutive" days for rental periods. The notification process for guest removal is updated to allow for various communication methods, including electronic means, and it authorizes law enforcement officers to remove guests who refuse to leave when requested by the establishment's operator. Additionally, the bill reenacts sections of Florida Statutes to incorporate these amendments, including provisions related to affordable housing property exemptions and the taxation of rental properties.

Moreover, the bill introduces amendments related to tax exemptions for space flight business properties and telecommunications services. It specifies that properties used predominantly for space flight qualify for tax exemptions if over 50% of the property is utilized for such purposes and clarifies that rental payments based on sales percentages for telecommunications services at public venues are exempt from certain taxes, with retroactive application but no tax refunds prior to July 1, 2010. The bill also addresses notification requirements about radon gas in real estate documents and regulations for massage establishments to enhance transparency and combat human trafficking. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
