The bill amends Florida Statutes to authorize individuals to request expedited services from the Department of State in a specified manner. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that allows a person to submit an expedited service request form either in person or through electronic transmission, explicitly prohibiting requests via mail. Additionally, the bill updates the fees associated with filing documents and issuing certificates, including a cross-reference adjustment in section 610.104 regarding cable or video service franchise certificates.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a contingent effective date, which stipulates that it will take effect only if HB 1365 or similar legislation is adopted in the same legislative session or an extension thereof. The amendments aim to streamline the process for expedited services and ensure that the fees for various filings are clearly defined and updated in accordance with current practices.
