FL S0824

Removes mandatory vehicle impoundment/immobilization procedures for driving with suspended or revoked license and eliminates requirement to notify co-owners and lienholders.

Establishes new court-ordered impoundment/immobilization periods based on offense severity: 5 days for second degree misdemeanor, 10 days for first degree misdemeanor, and 30 days for third degree felony.

Prohibits courts from ordering impoundment or immobilization to run concurrently with defendant's incarceration and requires defendant to bear all costs.

Allows vehicle owners/co-owners who were not operating the vehicle to petition court to set aside impoundment if vehicle was stolen or purchased after the offense, and mandates dismissal if owner's family has no other transportation.

Creates exception to penalties under subsection (9) for persons whose licenses were suspended for non-driving reasons (child support failure, financial obligations, insurance lapses, or habitual traffic offender status from such violations).
