Felony Battery

Summary

The bill changes Florida law so that a person who has a prior conviction for battery, aggravated battery, felony battery, or resisting an officer with violence and then commits another battery is charged with a third‑degree felony. It also updates the statutory list of offenses that cannot be expunged or sealed to reflect this new felony classification. The measure was laid on the table and did not pass, while a companion Senate bill succeeded.
