This bill amends Florida Statutes to introduce expedited service fees and procedures for document filings 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 made through mail. The bill also outlines a comprehensive list of fees associated with various filings, including articles of incorporation, applications for registered names, and other corporate documents, with fees ranging from $8.75 to $600.

Additionally, the bill updates a cross-reference in section 610.104 regarding the processing fees for cable or video service franchise holders, aligning it with the newly amended section 607.0122. The processing fee for updating franchise information is set at $1,000, and failure to comply with the update requirements may lead to cancellation of the franchise authority. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, SB 1616, during the same legislative session.
