Florida S0168 amends public nuisance laws to include gambling houses and revises fines and legal fees.

Florida S0168 amends the definition of public nuisances to include places used for gambling and other illegal activities. It allows local governments to impose fines up to $250 per day, increasing to $500 per day if the nuisance is not abated within a year. The bill also allows for the foreclosure of liens on properties used for public nuisances and defines "legal assistant" as someone who provides meaningful legal support under attorney supervision. The act permits counties and municipalities to supplement these provisions with additional ordinances.
