AI Summary

This bill creates the Dog Breeders Trust Fund within the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to help support the implementation and enforcement of dog breeding regulations. The trust fund will be financed by fees, penalties, and payments received by the state related to dog breeding. Any money remaining in the trust fund at the end of a fiscal year will automatically roll over and remain available for the fund's purposes, which means the money cannot be redirected to other state accounts. The trust fund is set to be automatically reviewed and potentially terminated on July 1, 2029, unless it is renewed earlier. The bill's effective date is contingent on the passage of companion legislation (SB 1830), meaning it will only go into effect if that related bill is also adopted during the same legislative session.
