The bill amends chapter 2000-388 of the Laws of Florida, specifically relating to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. It introduces an additional career service position, the Level 5 Captain, and outlines promotional procedures for various ranks within the agency. Promotions to the ranks of sergeant and lieutenant must now be based on competitive examinations, while promotions to the rank of captain will be determined through a resume or interview process. The bill also clarifies the membership and responsibilities of the Career Service Appeals Board, which will now consist of five members, including two appointed by the sheriff and two by the appellant, with a fifth member selected from the board to serve as chairperson.

Additionally, the bill revises the conditions under which Career Service status is granted and maintained, including provisions for demotion and the transition of Career Service members when a new sheriff takes office. It specifies that the sheriff has the authority to adopt necessary rules for the implementation of the act and outlines the appeal process for disciplinary actions, ensuring that members have the right to a fair hearing. The changes aim to enhance the structure and accountability of the Osceola County Sheriff's Office while providing clear guidelines for promotions and appeals.
