AI Summary
This bill, titled the Labor Pool Act, makes several changes to existing Florida law concerning labor pools, which are entities that provide temporary workers. First, it amends the law to prevent a labor pool from charging a fee to a business, referred to as a "third-party user," if that business decides to directly hire a laborer for permanent work. Previously, labor pools could charge a placement fee in such situations. Additionally, the bill requires all labor pools operating in Florida to register annually with the Department of Commerce, and it grants the department the authority to create rules to manage this registration process. Finally, the bill revises the remedies available in legal actions related to this act, stipulating that the court must award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the party who wins the case.
