AI Summary

This bill amends the law related to public deposits in Florida. The key provisions are: 1. Adds credit unions to the list of financial institutions that can be designated as qualified public depositories, which are eligible to hold public deposits. 2. Requires the Chief Financial Officer to segregate and separately account for any collateral, assessments, or penalties related to credit unions versus other qualified public depositories. 3. Imposes certain conditions that must be met for the Chief Financial Officer to designate a credit union as a qualified public depository, including requiring credit unions to have commitments from public depositors and a minimum number of eligible credit unions. 4. Allows the Chief Financial Officer to withdraw from collateral agreements with credit unions if the number of designated or eligible credit unions falls below a certain threshold. 5. Limits the total public deposits that all credit unions can hold to 15% of the statewide total, and limits individual credit unions to holding no more than 10% of their total assets in public deposits. The bill also reenacts references to the definition of "qualified public depository" in various statutes to incorporate the changes made by this bill. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024.
