The bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance penalties for offenses related to fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement officers. It introduces a new subsection (5) to section 316.1935, establishing a mandatory minimum classification for these violations, with first offenses ranked at level 7, second offenses at level 8, and third or subsequent offenses at level 9 on the offense severity ranking chart. Additionally, the bill reclassifies fleeing or attempting to elude in a law enforcement vehicle as a first-degree felony if it results in serious bodily injury or death. It also mandates a minimum three-year prison sentence for individuals convicted of aggravated fleeing or eluding under these circumstances.

Moreover, the bill modifies existing language regarding law enforcement vehicle markings by removing the requirement for "insignia and other jurisdictional markings" to be prominently displayed. It encompasses a broader range of offenses, including those related to aggravated abuse of the elderly, human trafficking, and drug trafficking, with many offenses designated as first-degree felonies. The proposed changes aim to strengthen law enforcement's ability to address serious crimes and enhance public safety by imposing stricter penalties on offenders, with the act set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
