Navigation Governor signs measure giving greater protections for defense counsel
Sen. Jennifer Bradley
Beginning July 1, defense counsel in Florida will receive protections already afforded other courtroom officers. On June 5, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 384 into law, which makes it a felony to attack a defense attorney or public defender acting in their courtroom capacity.
The measure, sponsored by Fleming Island Republican Sen. Jennifer Bradley, passed both chambers of the legislature unanimously.
