A slew of new laws in Florida are set to take effect on October 1, covering a range of topics including crime, state license plates, and public record exemptions. These legislation were passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis earlier this year. The new laws aim to address various issues, with one notable example being House Bill 341, also known as the "Safeguarding American Families Everywhere Act" (SAFE). This bill pertains to motor vehicle registration in the state, providing individuals with disabilities the option to have the designation "SAFE" applied to their motor vehicle record.
The designation can be updated for removal at any time. Another significant law is House Bill 479... which defines "mobility fee" and "mobility plan" for the state's Community Planning Act. This law expands the boundaries of a special district responsible for reducing local mosquito populations, "allowing it to provide services to a broader area." The new legislation includes a provision that increases penalties for retail theft, "as well as introducing new punishments for porch pirates." These measures aim to tackle crime and enhance public safety.
The list of new laws taking effect on October 1 has been compiled by WKMG... and covers a wide range of topics. The information in this article was first published in WJXT.
