The bill aims to re-create the Resilient Florida Trust Fund within the Department of Environmental Protection, which is set to be terminated on July 1, 2025, according to the provisions of the State Constitution. The new legal language inserted into the bill specifies that the trust fund will be re-created despite its scheduled termination.

Additionally, the bill amends section 380.0935 of the Florida Statutes by deleting the previous provisions that mandated the trust fund's termination on July 1, 2025, and the requirement for a review before its scheduled termination. This change effectively allows the Resilient Florida Trust Fund to continue operating beyond the previously established termination date. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
