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 confirms the re-creation of the trust fund, ensuring its continuation beyond the previously scheduled termination date.
Additionally, the bill amends section 380.0935 of the Florida Statutes by deleting the 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 removes the sunset clause associated with the trust fund, allowing it to remain operational without the need for future legislative review or termination. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
