Summary
The bill revises Florida law to treat anyone who assaults a law‑enforcement officer and causes bodily injury as a “prison releasee reoffender,” subject to harsher sentencing. It also makes a second battery offense a third‑degree felony and updates numerous related statutes on offender registration, pre‑trial release, detention, and record‑sealing. The changes aim to increase accountability for repeat violent offenders and protect public safety.
