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 various filings, including a reference to the fee for filing articles of incorporation, which is now aligned with the amended section 607.0122.

Furthermore, the bill makes a conforming amendment to section 610.104, ensuring that the processing fee for updating information related to cable or video service franchise certificates is consistent with the fees established in section 607.0122. The bill includes a contingent effective date, which stipulates that it will take effect upon becoming law if related legislation (SB 1616 or similar) is also adopted in the same legislative session.
