The proposed bill amends section 934.425 of the Florida Statutes to enhance criminal penalties associated with the installation, placement, or use of tracking devices or applications when these actions are used to commit or facilitate dangerous crimes. The bill introduces new legal language that specifies that a person who violates the tracking device regulations commits a felony of the third degree, unless the violation is committed to facilitate a dangerous crime, in which case it escalates to a felony of the second degree.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of key terms such as "business entity," "tracking application," and "tracking device," and outlines the conditions under which consent for tracking may be revoked. The effective date for the implementation of this act is set for October 1, 2025.
