This bill amends the Florida Trust Code to grant the Attorney General exclusive standing to assert the rights of beneficiaries of charitable trusts in judicial proceedings, both within Florida and elsewhere. Specifically, it establishes that the Attorney General can assert these rights in all matters related to the administration of charitable trusts, including claims related to contract and trust law concerning charitable distributions and trustee powers. Additionally, the bill prohibits public officers from other states from asserting such rights.

The bill also makes conforming amendments to related sections of the Florida Statutes, ensuring that the changes to the Attorney General's standing are reflected throughout the Trust Code. It clarifies that the standing of the Attorney General does not extend to public officers from other states regarding charitable trusts administered in Florida. The effective date of the act is upon becoming law.
