TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — In just a few days, Florida's latest round of new 2023 laws come into effect.
The Oct. 1 changes open up the death penalty for those convicted of sexual battery of children. There are also new laws to crack down on streakers and put new rules in place for children driving golf carts.
In total, more than 30 new laws take effect Sunday. Many of them center on higher penalties for criminal offenses. HB 1297, might be the most controversial for further easing access to capital punishment.
The governor signed the law into effect in May with fanfare declaring Florida a "law and order" state.
Here are the new laws beginning Oct. 1 in Florida
