In this press release (linked) the office of Governor Rick Scott announces that the
Task Force On Citizen Safety and Protection has released its
final report. The Task Force's published opinion supports the current language of FSS 776 and does not recommend changing it.
Just one of the Task Force's official statements:

The Task Force concurs with the core belief that all persons, regardless of citizenship status, have a right to feel safe and secure in our state. To that end, all persons who are conducting themselves in a lawful manner have a fundamental right to stand their ground and defend themselves from attack with proportionate force in every place they have a lawful right to be.
