Bill > H1363

This bill modifies the fees and service procedures for the Florida Department of State, primarily focusing on expedited services and clarifying existing fee structures. The bill updates Section 607.0122 to explicitly outline the fees for various corporate filing services, such as articles of incorporation ($35), registered name applications ($87.50), and annual reports ($61.25), and introduces a new provision allowing people to request expedited services directly to the department. These expedited service requests must be submitted in person or electronically, and cannot be made through mail. The bill also makes a technical amendment to Section 610.104 to update a cross-reference related to cable franchise fees, ensuring that application and amendment fees are aligned with the incorporation filing fee. The bill's implementation is contingent upon the passage of another specific piece of legislation (HB 1365) in the same legislative session, which means it will only take effect if that companion bill becomes law.
