Florida Legislative Amendment Impacting County Court Appeals
The legislation was approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis on June 20, 2020.
According to a letter issued by Chief Justice Charles Canady in November 2019, the Florida Supreme Court supported the Legislature’s consideration of an amendment transferring circuit court appellate authority to the district courts of appeal. An amendment to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure is likely to follow to account for this statutory change.
