Law360 has an article here about how: "On June 2, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed H.B. 7027, creating Chapter 2022-163, Laws of Florida, which established the Sixth District Court of Appeal — Florida's first new appellate court since the creation of the Fifth District Court of Appeal in 1979."
Interesting how the geographical region (i.e., counties) encompassed by the districts are called "judicial circuits":
The creation of the Sixth District will affect the boundaries of the First, Second and Fifth District Courts of Appeal, while the boundaries of the Third and Fourth Districts will remain unchanged. The Sixth District is acquiring the Tenth Judicial Circuit (Hardee, Highlands and Polk Counties) and the Twentieth Judicial Circuit (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee Counties) from the Second District Court of Appeal. The Ninth Judicial Circuit — Orange and Osceola Counties — currently part of the Fifth District Court of Appeal, will join the Sixth District. The Fourth Judicial Circuit — Clay, Duval and Nassau Counties — will join the Fifth District Court of Appeal.
