11  The Committee on Children, Families, and Elder Affairs (Lynn)
12  recommended the following amendment:

14         Senate Amendment (with title amendment) 
15         On page 65, between lines 8 and 9,
16  
17  insert:  
18         Section 29.  Subsection (2) of section 63.182, Florida
19  Statutes, is amended to read:
20         63.182  Statute of repose.--
21         (2)(a)  Except for the specific persons expressly
22  entitled to be given notice of an adoption in accordance with
23  this chapter, the interest that entitles a person to notice of
24  an adoption of a minor must be direct, financial, and
25  immediate, and the person must show that he or she will gain
26  or lose by the direct legal operation and effect of the
27  judgment. A showing of an indirect, inconsequential, or
28  contingent interest is wholly inadequate, and a person with
29  this indirect interest lacks standing to set aside a judgment
30  of adoption of a minor.
31         (b)  This subsection is remedial and shall apply to all
                                  1
