The bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance regulations surrounding notaries public and businesses offering immigration services. It prohibits notaries public from using certain terms, such as "notario pblico" or "immigration consultant," in their advertisements unless they are authorized to represent individuals in immigration matters. Additionally, it requires notaries who advertise in languages other than English to include a conspicuous notice stating that they are not licensed attorneys and cannot provide legal advice.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a civil cause of action for individuals aggrieved by violations of these provisions, allowing them to seek declaratory or injunctive relief, actual damages, and reasonable attorney fees and costs. It also mandates that businesses or individuals providing immigration services post clear notices on their websites and at their places of business, indicating that they are not licensed attorneys and are not accredited to represent clients in immigration matters. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
