This bill amends existing Florida law regarding the admission to practice law by unauthorized aliens. It specifically addresses the validity of licenses to practice law that were issued under a certain subsection prior to November 1, 2028. The bill stipulates that these licenses will be revoked on that date unless the holder can provide valid proof of U.S. citizenship, which must be certified by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners by the same deadline.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that the repeal of a specific statute does not impact the validity of previously issued licenses, but introduces a new requirement for citizenship proof to maintain those licenses. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
