Florida Statutes

Florida Statutes are the written laws of the state of Florida. They serve as the legal framework governing everything from criminal offenses to property rights and business regulations. The statutes are organized into chapters and sections, making it easier for individuals, lawyers, and lawmakers to find specific laws. Each law has been enacted by the state's legislature and is subject to interpretation by the courts. The statutes aim to establish order, protect citizens, and ensure justice within the state. Each year, they can be updated or amended to address new issues or changing societal needs.
