Summary
The proposal requires the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to levy a $10,000 penalty on any police or local agency that violates state immigration enforcement rules. Collected fines would fund a new program to pay residents harmed by unauthorized aliens and allow wrongful‑death suits against jurisdictions that adopt sanctuary policies. The bill also waives the state's sovereign immunity for these tort actions.
