Bill > H0589

This bill amends Florida Statute 402.56 to revise the membership of the Children and Youth Cabinet, which is an organization responsible for matters concerning children and youth. The bill increases the total number of cabinet members from the current number to 16, including the Governor. It adds a superintendent of schools, appointed by the Governor, to the cabinet and renumbers the existing positions. The bill also specifies that five members representing children and youth advocacy organizations, who are not service providers, will be appointed by the Governor. These changes aim to broaden the representation and expertise within the cabinet.
