Bill Summary · HB 1105

Legislative bill overview

HB 1105 modifies Florida's interpersonal violence injunction statutes, which are civil court orders that restrict contact and proximity between individuals. The bill has advanced through the Civil Justice & Claims Subcommittee with favorable recommendations and is now scheduled for budget review. The specific provisions of the bill are not detailed in the action history provided, so the exact nature of modifications remains unclear from these records alone.

Why is this important

Interpersonal violence injunctions are critical protective tools for domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking victims. Changes to these statutes can affect how quickly victims obtain protection, what behaviors are prohibited, enforcement mechanisms, and the rights of respondents—directly impacting victim safety and access to justice.

Potential points of contention

  • Burden of proof and evidence standards — Any modifications to how allegations must be proven could affect victim accessibility versus due process protections for the accused
  • Scope of prohibited conduct — Expanding or narrowing what constitutes violation (contact methods, proximity distances, communication restrictions) balances protection with respondent rights
  • Enforcement and penalties — Changes to how violations are prosecuted or penalized could strengthen deterrence but also increase incarceration consequences
