The bill amends section 607.0122 of the Florida Statutes to establish specific filing fees for expedited services related to document processing. It introduces a tiered fee structure for expedited requests, which includes $1,000 for requests made before 4 p.m. for service within one hour, $300 for requests made before 2 p.m. for service within three hours, and $100 for same-day service requests made before 10 a.m. Additionally, the bill specifies that expedited service requests must be submitted in person or electronically, and cannot be made via mail.
Furthermore, the bill outlines acceptable payment methods for expedited service fees, which can be made by credit card, check, money order, or through an established customer deposit account, but not in cash. Importantly, all expedited service fees are declared nonrefundable. The act is contingent upon the passage of HB 1363 or similar legislation within the same legislative session.
