HB 7011 Summary

• Purpose: A reviser's bill that replaces all statutory references to the "Division of Forestry" with "Florida Forest Service" throughout Florida Statutes to conform with legislative directive from Chapter 2011-56, Laws of Florida.

• Scope: Amends 77 sections of Florida law across multiple chapters (121-790) to update terminology related to forestry operations, wildfire management, forest acquisition, and state forest administration.

• Key Areas Affected: Updates references in statutes governing state forest management, wildfire protection and suppression, prescribed burning, forest land acquisition, county forestry programs, and firefighter pension classifications.

• Technical Changes: Replaces institutional name references without altering the substance of existing laws, rules, or procedures—purely a nomenclature update to reflect organizational naming conventions.

• Effective Date: Takes effect on the 60th day after adjournment sine die of the legislative session in which it was enacted.
