This appears to address that.
Snip:

29 authorizing a nonresident to carry a concealed weapon
30 or concealed firearm in this state if he or she meets
31 the same requirements as a resident; removing a
32 requirement that limits recognition of concealed
33 firearm licenses to those states that honor Florida
34 concealed weapon or concealed firearm licenses;
35 amending s. 790.052, F.S.

For Florida residents:

481 790.01 Unlicensed Carrying of concealed weapons or
482 concealed firearms.—
483 (1) A person is authorized to carry a concealed weapon or
484 concealed firearm, as that term is defined in s. 790.06(1), if
445 he or she:
486 (a) Is licensed under s. 790.06; or
487 (b) Is not licensed under s. 790.06, but otherwise
488 satisfies the criteria for receiving and maintaining such a
489 license under s. 790.06(2)(a)–(f) and (i)–(n), (3), and (10)

Non-Residents:

552 Nonresidents who are United States citizens and
553 hold a concealed weapons license in another state; reciprocity.—
554 (1) Notwithstanding s. 790.01, A nonresident of Florida
555 may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm, as that term
556 is defined in s. 790.06(1), while in this state if the
557 nonresident is a resident of the United States who is 21 years
558 of age or older and he or she:
559 (a) Satisfies the criteria for receiving and maintaining a

562 (a) Is 21 years of age or older.

571 a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm
572 issued in another state establishes legal residence in this
573 state by:

579 the license shall be recognized as valid remain in effect for 90

So, it appears you need to be 21 and have an LTC/CHP in your home state; or make an application to live in Florida.
(you can be under 21, but you need to be military/police/court officer and with all the documentation.

 

[Rule3]

One should also read 790.01 etc

I don't know if they are going to have to amend that as well?? Plus as mentioned nothing until July

The requirements for obtaining a FL ccl are a joke anyway. There is no real qualifying like other States/ Only advantage to obtaining one is to eliminate a 3 day wait when buying a gun.
criminals carry guns regardless.

The way I read the quoted part, a nonresident can carry concealed in Florida (beginning July 1st, provided he's 21) if he satisfies the criteria for getting a Florida license, without actually having a license.

It is worded rather confusingly. The problem is that they were trying to graft the new permitless carry onto the existing reciprocity provision.

That is an understatement.
All the language about the "Guardian" program--something that already exists, seems superfluous.
There's like a US$65K Appropriation attached to this, too.

That's how I understand it too.

It's good to have if you travel. That's the other reason I'm keeping mine up.
