Bill > H1313

This bill re-creates the Resilient Florida Trust Fund within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), preventing its automatic termination on July 1, 2025. The bill specifically modifies an existing statute by removing language that would have automatically terminated the trust fund, effectively extending its existence. In Florida, certain trust funds are subject to periodic review and potential termination under the state constitution, but this bill aims to preserve the Resilient Florida Trust Fund beyond its originally scheduled sunset date. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, which aligns with the original termination date of the trust fund. By re-creating the trust fund, the legislature ensures continued financial support for resilience-related environmental projects and initiatives within the DEP, though the specific purpose or funding sources of the trust fund are not detailed in this bill text.
