    5 FLORIDA LAWS (EFFECTIVE JANUARY '24)

    • 1. SB 784, known as the 'Protect Our Loved Ones Act,' empowers local law enforcement to create and oversee the 'Special Persons Registry.' This database aims to include individuals with developmental, psychological, or other disabilities. Its purpose is to facilitate the sharing of relevant information between law enforcement officers and individuals with specific conditions like autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia-related disorders, ultimately improving interactions during emergency responses.

    • 2. SB 1534 addresses pretrial release and detention, stipulating that only a judge can set or modify bail. The legislation mandates the Florida Supreme Court to establish a uniform statewide bail bond schedule for certain offenses, prohibiting judges from setting lower local bond amounts. It outlines circumstances where defendants, such as those on pretrial release probation or with certain criminal backgrounds, cannot be released before an initial hearing.

    • 3. SB 7056 mandates the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to take control of child protection investigations in seven Florida counties, including Broward County Sheriff's Office, starting from January 1, 2024. While DCF will handle all child abuse investigations, specific sheriffs will retain custodianship of certain files and documents as outlined in the legislation.

    • 4. SB 76 introduces changes to campsite reservation rules for Florida's state parks. It directs the Division of Recreation and Parks to establish specified timeframes for both residents and nonresidents to make reservations for state park cabins and campsites. Notably, Florida residents will be allowed to reserve campsites one month earlier than nonresidents, with proof of residency required.

    • 5. Governor DeSantis has signed HB425, expanding Florida's Move Over Law to include all disabled vehicles with activated hazard lights, emergency flares, or signage. The updated law aims to enhance roadside safety by requiring drivers to move over at least one lane for such vehicles or, if unable to do so, reduce their speed by 20 mph. Violating the Move Over Law can lead to fines ranging from $60 to $158.H
