The bill amends Section 30.10 of the Florida Statutes to provide greater flexibility regarding the location of sheriffs' offices within counties. Specifically, it changes the requirement that sheriffs' offices must be located at the county seat to allow them to be situated at any location within the county lines. This change is intended to enhance accessibility and operational efficiency for law enforcement agencies.

The legal language in the bill reflects these changes by replacing "shall" with "may" to indicate that sheriffs have the discretion to choose their office locations, and by inserting "any location within" and "county lines" to clarify the new permissible locations for sheriffs' offices. The bill will take effect upon becoming law.
