I. Summary:
The Division of Law Revision of the Office of Legislative Services is required, by statute, to
conduct a systematic and continuing study of the Florida Statutes. The purpose of this study is to
recommend to the Legislature changes that will remove inconsistencies, redundancies, and
unnecessary repetition from the statutes; improve clarity and facilitate correct interpretation;
correct grammatical and typographical errors; and delete obsolete, repealed, or superseded
provisions. These recommendations are submitted to the Legislature in the form of technical,
nonsubstantive reviser’s bills. Responses to directives from the Legislature to make specific
changes in the statutes are also submitted to the Legislature via reviser’s bills.
Section 10, ch. 2022-16, Laws of Florida, directed the Division of Law Revision to prepare a
reviser’s bill to change the term “Next Generation Sunshine State Standards” to “state academic
