AI Summary
This bill, titled the Labor Pool Act, makes several changes to existing Florida law regarding labor pools, which are entities that provide temporary workers. Firstly, it amends the law to prohibit a labor pool from charging a placement fee to a business that directly hires a laborer for permanent work, whereas previously, labor pools could charge such fees. Additionally, the bill requires all labor pools operating in Florida to register annually with the Department of Commerce, and grants the department the authority to create rules to oversee this registration process. Finally, it revises the remedies available in legal actions by mandating that courts award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the party who wins the case.
