AI Summary
This bill establishes a new section in Florida Statutes requiring school districts to annually report their undeveloped land to the Department of Education. "Unimproved real property" is defined as land owned by a school district that has no buildings or permanent structures on it. Each district must submit a complete inventory of this land, including its parcel identification number, acreage, location, acquisition date, current use, and fair market value (determined by county appraisal or a recent district appraisal). The Department of Education will then compile this information into a statewide report, detailing total acreage and value of undeveloped land across all districts, as well as a breakdown for each individual district. This report will also include any trends or findings relevant to statewide land use or long-range facilities planning. The department is mandated to publish this report on its website by December 1, 2026, and every three years thereafter, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2026.
