The bill amends section 760.11 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to the Florida Commission on Human Relations. It removes the requirement for the commission to send certain notifications by registered mail, streamlining the process for handling complaints related to violations of civil rights. Specifically, the bill changes the language regarding the filing of complaints, stating that individuals have 365 days after the alleged violation to file a complaint, and it clarifies that the commission must stamp the date of filing on the complaint. Additionally, it modifies the language to replace "shall" with "must" in several instances, emphasizing the mandatory nature of certain actions.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the commission must investigate complaints within 180 days of filing and determine whether there is reasonable cause to believe a discriminatory practice has occurred. It also updates the notification process regarding the determination of reasonable cause, eliminating the requirement for registered mail. The changes aim to enhance the efficiency of the complaint process while maintaining the rights of aggrieved individuals. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
