Bill > H1365

This bill establishes a new fee structure for expedited document processing services at the Florida Department of State, specifically for business filing services. Under the proposed changes, individuals can request expedited services by submitting a form in person or electronically (but not by mail), with three distinct service speed options: a $1,000 fee for 1-hour service (for requests received before 4 p.m.), a $300 fee for 3-hour service (for requests received before 2 p.m.), and a $100 fee for same-day service (for requests received before 10 a.m.). The bill specifies that these expedited service fees can be paid via credit card, check, money order, or through an existing customer deposit account, but cannot be paid in cash. Importantly, all expedited service fees are nonrefundable. The bill's implementation is contingent upon the passage of HB 1363 or similar legislation in the same legislative session.
