Sovereign Immunity of Public Transit Contractors in Tort Actions

Summary

The bill adds language to Florida’s sovereign‑immunity statute saying that any contractor providing public‑transit services for the state, and its employees, agents or subcontractors, are treated as state agents while acting under the contract. By doing so, those contractors would be covered by the state’s immunity from tort claims. The measure failed to advance and died in committee.
