The bill establishes a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 45.022, which addresses civil actions brought by unauthorized aliens. It defines "unauthorized alien" as an individual who is unlawfully present in the United States, in accordance with the federal Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill explicitly prohibits unauthorized aliens from initiating any civil actions.
The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. This measure aims to restrict the legal rights of unauthorized aliens in Florida by preventing them from pursuing civil claims in the state's courts.
