The bill establishes a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 45.022, which prohibits unauthorized aliens from initiating civil actions. 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 definition is intended to align with relevant federal laws, rules, and regulations.
The bill explicitly states that unauthorized aliens are barred from commencing any civil action, thereby limiting their legal recourse within the state. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
