Sunset Review

Yes. As of April 2011, state agencies and advisory committees are reviewed every 10 years. Each is abolished on June 30 following the review unless affirmatively continued by the Legislature. Under this process, FDOT will be reviewed starting July 1, 2012, and terminates June 30, 2013 unless continued (Fla. Stat. Ann. §§11.901 et seq.). (Note, however, Senate Bill 1204 in the 2011 legislative session proposes to repeal these state statutes and thus eliminate the sunset review process. As of April 2011, this bill had passed both chambers.)
