The bill amends Florida Statutes to introduce expedited service fees and procedures for document filing with the Department of State. Specifically, it allows individuals to request expedited services by submitting a request form either in person or electronically, explicitly prohibiting requests via mail. Additionally, the bill outlines a comprehensive list of fees associated with various corporate filings, including articles of incorporation, applications for registered names, and other related documents, with the fees remaining largely unchanged.
Furthermore, the bill updates a cross-reference in section 610.104 regarding the state authorization for cable or video service providers. It specifies that certificateholders must update their application information every five years and pay a processing fee of $1,000. The bill also clarifies that the application and processing fees will be deposited into the Clearing Funds Trust Fund and subsequently transferred to the General Inspection Trust Fund of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The effective date of the act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
