Summary
The bill changes Florida law so counties and cities could fine nuisance owners up to $500 per day, recover attorney fees, and record liens that can be foreclosed after two years. It defines “legal assistant,” extends jurisdiction for one year, and sets a $15,000 cap on total fines. The measure failed in the House and was laid on the table, while a companion Senate bill (SB 168) passed.
