No. SB 2508
Filed under Transportation.
State Agency Law Enforcement Radio System; Abrogating the scheduled expiration of provisions relating to the remission of surcharges for specified criminal offenses and noncriminal moving traffic violations to the Department of Revenue to fund the state agency law enforcement radio system and to provide technical assistance with respect to statewide systems of regional law enforcement communications, etc.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDFlorida funds the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System, and technical assistance to state and local agencies on regional radio communications, through an administrative fee under section 318.18. That fee, and the rule distributing its proceeds, were both set to expire July 1, 2026.
This bill deletes both expiration dates outright, rather than pushing them back. The fee, and the Department of Management Services' authority to recover its administrative costs for the system, now continue with no scheduled end date at all.
AIThe administrative fee that funds the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System, and pays for technical assistance to state and local agencies on regional law enforcement communications, was set to expire July 1, 2026. Deleting that sentence keeps the fee and its funding use in place with no expiration date.
AIThe companion provision directing how the section 318.18(18) fee proceeds get distributed was set to expire on the same date, July 1, 2026. Deleting that sentence too keeps the distribution instructions valid alongside the now-permanent fee, rather than leaving it undistributed after that date.
