BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Florida League of Cities

Sovereign Immunity (Oppose)

HB 401 (Beltran) removes the statutory limits on liability for tort claims against the state and its agencies and subdivisions (which include cities). The current statutory limits for claims are $200,000 per person and $300,000 per incident. The bill eliminates these statutory limits subjecting government entities to unlimited liability arising from potential claims. (Cruz)
