House Bill 7019 is a reviser's bill aimed at updating the Florida Statutes by repealing several sections that are no longer operative due to expiration or previous repeal. The bill specifically repeals sections such as 161.101(22), 161.551, and 220.193, among others, while also amending sections 212.20, 320.06, 402.57, and 443.131 to reflect these changes. Key provisions include the repeal of the waiver of match requirements for hurricane-impacted counties and the Florida renewable energy production tax credit. The bill also addresses the registration period for vehicles under the International Registration Plan and updates provisions related to direct-support organizations under the Department of Children and Families.

Additionally, the bill introduces amendments to the governance of a direct-support organization associated with the Department of Children and Families, allowing it to collect and expend funds for various purposes while prohibiting the use of funds for lobbying activities. It also outlines adjustments to unemployment benefit contribution rates, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that employers are not penalized for claims related to governmental orders. The bill mandates that tax rates be calculated and issued by a tax collection service provider effective January 1, 2022, and includes provisions for the repeal of expired statutes related to the Pest Control Trust Fund and other programs. The act is set to take effect 60 days after the legislative session adjourns.
