This bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes related to the principal offices of limited liability companies and corporations. It revises the definition of "principal office" to include both the principal executive office of a company, regardless of its location, and the registered address of the registered agent. Additionally, the bill updates the requirements for registered agents, mandating that they file a statement of acceptance that includes the address of the registered office and confirms their familiarity with the obligations of the position.
The bill also reenacts several provisions to ensure consistency with the new definitions and requirements, including those related to the change of registered agent or office and the signing of records for filing with the Department of State. These changes aim to streamline the process for companies and enhance clarity regarding their registered offices and agents. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
