The bill amends sections of Florida Statutes related to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Trust Funds, specifically targeting the Grants and Donations Trust Fund and the Nongame Wildlife Trust Fund. It removes the provision that specified the types of agreement activities for which funds from the Grants and Donations Trust Fund could be utilized, thereby broadening the potential uses of these funds. Additionally, the bill eliminates the requirement for the administration of the Nongame Wildlife Trust Fund by a designated identifiable unit, allowing for more flexibility in its management.

Furthermore, the bill authorizes the use of proceeds from the Nongame Wildlife Trust Fund for law enforcement purposes, which is a new addition to the fund's allowable uses. It also allows the commission to enter into voluntary agreements or memoranda of understanding with related agencies and private landowners, enhancing collaboration for the coordination of nongame programs. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
