The bill amends section 253.034 of the Florida Statutes to require land managing entities to consider the feasibility of leasing portions of state-owned land for cattle grazing when developing or updating land management plans. Specifically, a new paragraph (d) is added, which mandates that any lands deemed suitable for grazing must be described in the management plan, and if no suitable lands are identified, an explanation must be provided. Additionally, the bill redesignates existing paragraphs within the section and updates references to ensure consistency with the new provisions.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the amendments will apply to land management plans developed or updated on or after July 1, 2026, with the act taking effect on that same date. This legislative change aims to enhance the management of state lands by potentially generating revenue through cattle grazing leases while ensuring that land management entities are accountable for their decisions regarding land use.
