This bill died with 2021 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Duties of the Attorney General; Revises duties of the AG; deletes provisions related to Safe Neighborhood Program; requires claims for restitution to be filed with specified entities & deleting DLA from that list; authorizes declarations during state of emergency to be extended by executive order; revises provisions to require DBPR & not AG to regulate convenience businesses.
