Bill Summary

Increasing the fine for the theft of a commercially farmed animal or a bee colony of a registered beekeeper, etc.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing theft law in Florida to increase the fine for the theft of a commercially farmed animal, including animals of the equine, avian, bovine, or swine class, a bee colony of a registered beekeeper, or an aquaculture species raised at a certified aquaculture facility. The bill imposes a $10,000 fine for the theft of such commercially farmed animals or bee colonies, in addition to any other penalties. The bill also reenacts and incorporates the amendment to the theft law in a related section of the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, which deals with the seizure and forfeiture of property used in certain criminal activities.
