House Bill 7019 is a reviser's bill aimed at updating the Florida Statutes by repealing several outdated sections and amending others to reflect changes in law. The bill repeals provisions related to public financing for coastal construction projects, renewable energy tax credits, and grants from the Rural Infrastructure Fund, including specific subsections and sections that have expired or are no longer applicable. Additionally, it amends sections concerning the distribution of tax proceeds and vehicle registration periods, as well as revising terminology related to direct-support organizations for the Department of Children and Families.

The bill also introduces amendments to the governance of direct-support organizations, allowing them to collect and expend funds for various purposes while prohibiting the use of funds for lobbying activities. It includes provisions for unemployment benefit contribution rates, particularly in relation to COVID-19, and mandates tax collection service providers to calculate and issue tax rates effective January 1, 2022. Furthermore, the bill clarifies the application of tax credits and ensures no duplication in taxable income calculations. The act is set to take effect 60 days after the legislative session adjourns.
