The bill amends section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes to require agencies subject to public records law to offer an electronic payment option for fees associated with public records requests. Specifically, a new subsection (5) is added, mandating that agencies provide this electronic payment method, while existing subsections (5) through (9) are redesignated as subsections (6) through (10).
The effective date for this new requirement is set for July 1, 2025. This change aims to streamline the process of paying for public records, making it more accessible and convenient for individuals requesting such information.
