Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Creates a $500 million fund to help homeowners with tariff-driven repair costs.

The Department of Financial Services gets a new trust fund to help homeowners cover repair and rebuilding costs driven up by federal tariffs on construction materials.

The fund starts with a single $500 million transfer from Florida's unallocated general revenue; the bill does not name any ongoing revenue source to replenish it.

By law, the fund must sunset on July 1, 2030 unless lawmakers end it sooner, and it must go through a formal legislative review before that deadline arrives.
