  161  ...(initials)...
  162         (d) If the verified sworn petition seeks to determine a
  163  parenting plan and time-sharing schedule with regard to the
  164  minor child or children of the parties, the verified sworn
  165  petition must be accompanied by or must incorporate the
  166  allegations required by s. 61.522 of the Uniform Child Custody
  167  Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
  168         (8)(a)1. Within 24 hours after the court issues an
  169  injunction for protection against domestic violence, the clerk
  170  of the court shall electronically transmit a copy of the
  171  petition, financial affidavit, Uniform Child Custody
  172  Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act affidavit, if any, notice of
  173  hearing, and temporary injunction, if any, to the sheriff or a
  174  law enforcement agency of the county where the respondent
  175  resides or can be found, who shall serve it upon the respondent
  176  as soon thereafter as possible on any day of the week and at any
  177  time of the day or night. An electronic copy of an injunction
  178  must be certified by the clerk of the court, and the electronic
  179  copy must be served in the same manner as a certified copy. Upon
  180  receiving an electronic copy of the injunction, the sheriff must
  181  verify receipt with the sender before attempting to serve it
  182  upon the respondent. In addition, if the sheriff is in
  183  possession of an injunction for protection that has been
  184  certified by the clerk of the court, the sheriff may
  185  electronically transmit a copy of that injunction to a law
  186  enforcement officer who shall serve it in the same manner as a
  187  certified copy. The clerk of the court is responsible for
  188  furnishing to the sheriff such information on the respondent’s
  189  physical description and location as is required by the
  190  department to comply with the verification procedures set forth
  191  in this section. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary,
  192  the chief judge of each circuit, in consultation with the
  193  appropriate sheriff, may authorize a law enforcement agency
  194  within the jurisdiction to effect service. A law enforcement
  195  agency serving injunctions pursuant to this section must use
  196  service and verification procedures consistent with those of the
  197  sheriff.
  198         2.For an injunction issued after July 1, 2025, the clerk
  199  of the court must provide to the Department of Highway Safety
  200  and Motor Vehicles that such an injunction was issued, and must
  201  update the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles when
  202  such an injunction in no longer in place. Such information must
  203  be included in the Driver and Vehicle Information Database.
  204         3.2. When an injunction is issued, if the petitioner
  205  requests the assistance of a law enforcement agency, the court
  206  may order that an officer from the appropriate law enforcement
  207  agency accompany the petitioner and assist in placing the
  208  petitioner in possession of the dwelling or residence, or
  209  otherwise assist in the execution or service of the injunction.
  210  A law enforcement officer must accept a copy of an injunction
  211  for protection against domestic violence, certified by the clerk
  212  of the court, from the petitioner and immediately serve it upon
  213  a respondent who has been located but not yet served.
  214         4.3. All orders issued, changed, continued, extended, or
  215  vacated subsequent to the original service of documents
  216  enumerated under subparagraph 1. must be certified by the clerk
  217  of the court and delivered to the parties at the time of the
  218  entry of the order. The parties may acknowledge receipt of such
  219  order in writing on the face of the original order. In the event
  220  a party fails or refuses to acknowledge the receipt of a
  221  certified copy of an order, the clerk shall note on the original
  222  order that service was effected. If delivery at the hearing is
  223  not possible, the clerk shall mail certified copies of the order
  224  to the parties at the last known address of each party. Service
  225  by mail is complete upon mailing. When an order is served
  226  pursuant to this subsection, the clerk shall prepare a written
  227  certification to be placed in the court file specifying the
  228  time, date, and method of service and shall notify the sheriff.
  229  
  230         If the respondent has been served previously with the
  231  temporary injunction and has failed to appear at the initial
  232  hearing on the temporary injunction, any subsequent petition for
  233  injunction seeking an extension of time may be served on the
  234  respondent by the clerk of the court by certified mail in lieu
  235  of personal service by a law enforcement officer.
  236         Section 2. Subsections (2), (4), and paragraph (a) of
  237  subsection (8) of section 784.046, Florida Statutes, are amended

  259  imminent danger of becoming the victim of an act of dating
  260  violence, or the parent or legal guardian of any minor child who
  261  is living at home and who seeks an injunction for protection
  262  against dating violence on behalf of that minor child, has
  263  standing in the circuit court to file a verified sworn petition
  264  for an injunction for protection against dating violence.
  265         (c) A person who is the victim of sexual violence or the
  266  parent or legal guardian of a minor child who is living at home
  267  who is the victim of sexual violence has standing in the circuit
  268  court to file a verified sworn petition for an injunction for
  269  protection against sexual violence on his or her own behalf or
  270  on behalf of the minor child if:
  271         1. The person has reported the sexual violence to a law
  272  enforcement agency and is cooperating in any criminal proceeding
  273  against the respondent, regardless of whether criminal charges

  275  dismissed by the state attorney; or
  276         2. The respondent who committed the sexual violence against
  277  the victim or minor child was sentenced to a term of
  278  imprisonment in state prison for the sexual violence and the
  279  respondent’s term of imprisonment has expired or is due to
  280  expire within 90 days following the date the verified petition
  281  is filed.
  282         (d) A cause of action for an injunction may be sought
  283  whether or not any other petition, complaint, or cause of action
  284  is currently available or pending between the parties.
  285         (e) A cause of action for an injunction does not require
  286  that the petitioner be represented by an attorney.

  288  incidents of repeat violence, sexual violence, or dating

  360  respondent, enjoining him or her from committing any further
  361  acts of violence; an injunction enjoining the respondent from

  363  providing any terms the court deems necessary for the protection
  364  of the petitioner and the petitioner’s immediate family,
  365  including any injunctions or directives to law enforcement
  366  agencies.
  367         (c) Every petition for an injunction against repeat
  368  violence, sexual violence, or dating violence must contain the
  369  following statement directly above the signature line, in all
  370  capital letters and bold type not smaller than the surrounding
  371  text:
  372  
  373         I HAVE READ EVERY STATEMENT MADE IN THIS PETITION AND
  374         EACH STATEMENT IS TRUE AND CORRECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT
  375         THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS PETITION ARE BEING MADE
  376         UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, PUNISHABLE AS PROVIDED IN
  377         SECTION 92.525, FLORIDA STATUTES.
  378         (8)(a)1. Within 24 hours after the court issues an
  379  injunction for protection against repeat violence, sexual
  380  violence, or dating violence, the clerk of the court shall
  381  electronically transmit a copy of the petition, notice of
  382  hearing, and temporary injunction, if any, to the sheriff or a
  383  law enforcement agency of the county where the respondent
  384  resides or can be found, who shall serve it upon the respondent
  385  as soon thereafter as possible on any day of the week and at any
  386  time of the day or night. An electronic copy of an injunction
  387  must be certified by the clerk of the court, and the electronic
  388  copy must be served in the same manner as a certified copy. Upon
  389  receiving an electronic copy of the injunction, the sheriff must
  390  verify receipt with the sender before attempting to serve it
  391  upon the respondent. In addition, if the sheriff is in
  392  possession of an injunction for protection that has been
  393  certified by the clerk of the court, the sheriff may
  394  electronically transmit a copy of that injunction to a law
  395  enforcement officer who shall serve it in the same manner as a
  396  certified copy. The clerk of the court is responsible for
  397  furnishing to the sheriff such information on the respondent’s
  398  physical description and location as is required by the
  399  department to comply with the verification procedures set forth
  400  in this section. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary,
  401  the chief judge of each circuit, in consultation with the
  402  appropriate sheriff, may authorize a law enforcement agency
  403  within the chief judge’s jurisdiction to effect this type of
  404  service and to receive a portion of the service fee. A person
  405  may not serve or execute an injunction issued under this section
  406  unless the person is a law enforcement officer as defined in
  407  chapter 943.
  408         2. For an injunction issued after July 1, 2025, the clerk
  409  of the court must provide to the Department of Highway Safety
  410  and Motor Vehicles that such an injunction was issued, and must
  411  update the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles when
  412  such an injunction in no longer in place. Such information must
  413  be included in the Driver and Vehicle Information Database.
  414         3.2. When an injunction is issued, if the petitioner
  415  requests the assistance of a law enforcement agency, the court
  416  may order that an officer from the appropriate law enforcement
  417  agency accompany the petitioner and assist in the execution or
  418  service of the injunction. A law enforcement officer must accept
  419  a copy of an injunction for protection against repeat violence,
  420  sexual violence, or dating violence, certified by the clerk of
  421  the court, from the petitioner and immediately serve it upon a
  422  respondent who has been located but not yet served.
  423         Section 3. Paragraph (a) of subsection (1), paragraphs (a),
  424  (b), and (f) of subsection (3), and paragraph (a) of subsection

  476  
  477         I HAVE READ EVERY STATEMENT MADE IN THIS PETITION AND
  478         EACH STATEMENT IS TRUE AND CORRECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT
  479         THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS PETITION ARE BEING MADE
  480         UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, PUNISHABLE AS PROVIDED IN
  481         SECTION 92.525 837.02, FLORIDA STATUTES.
  482  
  483         ...(initials)...
  484         (8)(a)1. Within 24 hours after the court issues an
  485  injunction for protection against stalking, the clerk of the
  486  court shall electronically transmit a copy of the petition,
  487  notice of hearing, and temporary injunction, if any, to the
  488  sheriff or a law enforcement agency of the county where the
  489  respondent resides or can be found, who shall serve it upon the
  490  respondent as soon thereafter as possible on any day of the week
  491  and at any time of the day or night. An electronic copy of an
  492  injunction must be certified by the clerk of the court, and the
  493  electronic copy must be served in the same manner as a certified
  494  copy. Upon receiving an electronic copy of the injunction, the
  495  sheriff must verify receipt with the sender before attempting to
  496  serve it on the respondent. In addition, if the sheriff is in
  497  possession of an injunction for protection that has been
  498  certified by the clerk of the court, the sheriff may
  499  electronically transmit a copy of that injunction to a law
  500  enforcement officer who shall serve it in the same manner as a
  501  certified copy. The clerk of the court shall furnish to the
  502  sheriff such information concerning the respondent’s physical
  503  description and location as is required by the Department of Law
  504  Enforcement to comply with the verification procedures set forth
  505  in this section. Notwithstanding any other law, the chief judge
  506  of each circuit, in consultation with the appropriate sheriff,
  507  may authorize a law enforcement agency within the jurisdiction
  508  to effect service. A law enforcement agency serving injunctions
  509  pursuant to this section must use service and verification
  510  procedures consistent with those of the sheriff.
  511         2. For an injunction issued after July 1, 2025, the clerk
  512  of the court must provide to the Department of Highway Safety
  513  and Motor Vehicles that such an injunction was issued, and must
  514  update the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles when
  515  such an injunction in no longer in place. Such information must
  516  be included in the Driver and Vehicle Information Database.
  517         3.2. If an injunction is issued and the petitioner requests
  518  the assistance of a law enforcement agency, the court may order
  519  that an officer from the appropriate law enforcement agency
  520  accompany the petitioner to assist in the execution or service
  521  of the injunction. A law enforcement officer must accept a copy
  522  of an injunction for protection against stalking, certified by
  523  the clerk of the court, from the petitioner and immediately
  524  serve it upon a respondent who has been located but not yet
  525  served.
  526         4.3. An order issued, changed, continued, extended, or
  527  vacated subsequent to the original service of documents
  528  enumerated under subparagraph 1. must be certified by the clerk
  529  of the court and delivered to the parties at the time of the
  530  entry of the order. The parties may acknowledge receipt of such
  531  order in writing on the face of the original order. If a party
  532  fails or refuses to acknowledge the receipt of a certified copy
  533  of an order, the clerk shall note on the original order that
  534  service was effected. If delivery at the hearing is not
  535  possible, the clerk shall mail certified copies of the order to
  536  the parties at the last known address of each party. Service by
  537  mail is complete upon mailing. When an order is served pursuant
  538  to this subsection, the clerk shall prepare a written
  539  certification to be placed in the court file specifying the
  540  time, date, and method of service and shall notify the sheriff.
  541         5.4. If the respondent has been served previously with a
  542  temporary injunction and has failed to appear at the initial
  543  hearing on the temporary injunction, any subsequent petition for
  544  injunction seeking an extension of time may be served on the
  545  respondent by the clerk of the court by certified mail in lieu
  546  of personal service by a law enforcement officer.
