AI Summary
This bill requires each school district in Florida to annually submit an inventory of any undeveloped land it owns to the Department of Education. This inventory must include specific details for each parcel of land, such as its identification number, size in acres, location, when it was acquired, how much it cost, its current or planned use, and its fair market value, which can be determined by the county property appraiser's assessment or a recent appraisal. The Department of Education will then compile all these district inventories into a statewide annual report that details the total acreage and market value of undeveloped school district land across the state, broken down by district, and will also include recommendations for land use and facilities planning. This report will be published online by December 1st each year and sent to the Governor and the Legislature. School districts that do not comply with these requirements will be subject to enforcement actions. This new law will go into effect on July 1, 2026.
