Fla. Stat. § 736.1401 gives the Florida Uniform Directed Trust Act its name.

Text of Fla. Stat. § 736.1401

Short title.—This part may be cited as the “Florida Uniform Directed Trust Act.”

History of Fla. Stat. § 736.1401

Fla. Stat. § 736.1401 became law on July 1, 2021 as part of the Florida Uniform Directed Trust Act. It has not been amended or revised since that date.

The statute section appears to be taken from the Uniform Directed Trust Act, which contains an extremely similar “short title” opening. Fla. Stat. § 736.1401 also may have been based on Fla. Stat. § 736.0101, which similarly uses the phrase “may be cited” in reference to the naming of the Florida Trust Code.
