The bill aims to re-create the Resilient Florida Trust Fund within the Department of Environmental Protection, which is currently set to be terminated on July 1, 2025. The new legal language inserted into the bill specifies that the trust fund will be re-created and will not be subject to termination as previously outlined in the state constitution.

Additionally, the bill amends subsection (3) of section 380.0935 of the Florida Statutes by deleting the provisions that mandated the trust fund's termination on the specified date. This change effectively allows the Resilient Florida Trust Fund to continue operating beyond the previously scheduled termination date, ensuring ongoing support for environmental resilience initiatives in the state. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
