The bill proposes significant changes to the Labor Pool Act by repealing several sections (448.20 through 448.26) that cover various aspects such as short title, legislative intent, definitions, exclusions, duties and rights, remedies, damages, costs, and application. Additionally, it amends sections 443.101 and 448.111 of the Florida Statutes to align with these changes. Specifically, the amendments to section 443.101 redefine terms related to temporary help firms and leased employees, removing references to labor pools and day laborers as defined in the repealed sections.

Furthermore, the bill modifies section 448.111 to clarify that certain actions taken by businesses during public health emergencies cannot be used as evidence in civil lawsuits related to employee classification. Notably, it deletes the reference to section 448.25 in this context. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, marking a significant shift in the regulatory framework governing labor pools and temporary employment in Florida.
