This 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 allowing requests for expedited services to be made in person or through electronic transmission, explicitly prohibiting requests via mail. Additionally, the bill updates the fee structure for various filings, including articles of incorporation and other corporate documents, while maintaining the existing fees for these services.

Furthermore, the bill makes a conforming amendment to section 610.104, which pertains to state authorization for cable or video service providers. It updates the cross-reference to align with the amended fee structure in section 607.0122, ensuring that the application and processing fees for cable franchise updates are consistent with the fees for filing articles of incorporation. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, SB 1616, during the same legislative session.
