AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's Marketable Record Title Act to revise the types of interests that are not affected or extinguished by a marketable record title, including by requiring specific identification of certain pre-existing easements, interests, and use restrictions. The bill also defines and extinguishes "discriminatory restrictions" that limit property ownership or use based on characteristics protected from discrimination, and provides a process for property owners to remove such restrictions from covenants and restrictions. The bill clarifies that the changes are intended to be remedial in nature and apply retroactively, and requires persons with potentially affected interests to file a notice by July 1, 2021 to preserve those interests.
