The bill amends section 471.033 of the Florida Statutes to introduce penalties for individuals who repeatedly engage in the unlicensed practice of engineering. A new subsection (4) is added, which specifies that individuals who violate this section will face escalating fines for subsequent offenses. Specifically, a second violation incurs a fine of $10,000, a third violation results in a $15,000 fine, a fourth violation leads to a $20,000 fine, and any fifth or subsequent violations will incur a fine of $25,000.

Additionally, the bill redesignates the existing subsection (4) as subsection (5) to accommodate the new provisions. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
