This bill amends chapter 2023-40 of the Laws of Florida to address the admission to practice law by unauthorized aliens. It specifies that certain licenses to practice law will be revoked on November 1, 2028, unless the license holders provide valid proof of United States citizenship certified by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners by that date. The bill clarifies that the repeal of a specific statute does not affect the validity of any licenses issued before the specified date.
The effective date of this act is set for July 1, 2025. The amendments aim to ensure that only individuals with verified citizenship can continue to practice law in Florida after the specified deadline, thereby tightening the regulations surrounding legal practice in the state.
