This bill serves as a revisers bill aimed at updating the Florida Statutes by repealing several outdated sections and subsections that are no longer operative, including those related to Hurricane Ian or Nicole match requirements and the Florida renewable energy production tax credit. It amends sections 212.20 and 320.06, notably extending the license plate replacement period from six to ten years and repealing provisions concerning the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund. The bill also addresses compliance with these changes by repealing provisions related to public financing of construction projects in coastal areas and establishing direct-support organizations for the Department of Children and Families.

Additionally, the bill modifies the calculation of employer contribution rates for unemployment benefits, introducing specific multipliers and excluding COVID-19-related benefits from these calculations. It mandates that funds collected by direct-support organizations cannot be used for lobbying and requires an annual financial audit. The bill also repeals several sections related to tax credits and funds that are no longer applicable, including the Beef Market Development Act and provisions concerning the Pest Control Trust Fund. The act is set to take effect 60 days after the legislative session adjourns, aiming to streamline tax regulations and clarify the legal framework for tax collection and fund management in Florida.
