Summary
The most severe sanctions began to apply from 1 July 2026, when HB 35 officially came into force in Florida. The amendment affects the Florida Statute 322,264 and adds the unlicensed driving repeated as a cause for designating a regular offender. If you have already received a notification or accumulated previous offences, seek legal advice before driving again, because the HB 35 extends the scope for more severe penalties in cases of recidivism.
Furthermore, With the HB 35, the authorities may also include persons with repeated convictions for driving without a valid licence. Ron DeSantis, governor of the state of Florida, signed a law against some transit offenders weeks ago. The HB 35 Act is a modification to Florida's transit regulations that allows you to consider the person who repeatedly manages without a valid licence as well as other serious conduct already covered by state law "a regular offender.".
In addition, The HB 35, called Isaiah's Law, amends state regulations to include those who drive repeatedly without a valid license within the category of "usual traffic offender.". DeSantis tightened the fines and penalties for traffic offenders: what does Florida's HB 35 law that already rules throughout the state say.
