The bill amends the Labor Pool Act by introducing new regulations for labor pools in Florida. It prohibits labor pools from charging placement fees to third-party users who directly employ laborers for work, ensuring that laborers have the right to accept permanent positions without financial penalties from the labor pool. Additionally, the bill mandates that all labor pools operating in the state must register annually with the Department of Commerce, which is authorized to adopt rules for implementation.

Furthermore, the bill revises the remedies available in legal actions related to labor pools by requiring courts to award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the prevailing party in such cases. This change aims to enhance the legal protections for individuals involved in disputes with labor pools. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
