Summary

It revises Florida’s civil rights complaint process by removing a mailed‑notice requirement and establishing clear time limits for when a lawsuit can be started after a complaint or a right‑to‑sue notice. The changes affect people filing discrimination claims, the state commission that handles those complaints, employers and other respondents, and limit the amount of punitive damages that can be awarded against the state.
