The bill proposes significant changes to Florida's laws regarding equity and inclusion by repealing specific sections of Chapter 760 of the Florida Statutes. Specifically, it repeals Part IV, which includes Section 760.80 related to minority representation on boards, commissions, councils, and committees, as well as Part V, which encompasses Section 760.854 concerning the Center for Environmental Equity and Justice. These repeals aim to eliminate existing legal frameworks that govern minority representation and environmental equity initiatives.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 1001.216, which pertains to the Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys. The amendment removes the definition of "African American" as referenced in the now-repealed Section 760.80, thereby altering the criteria for appointing a businessperson to the council. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
