FL S0400

Add Section 817.505 (patient brokering) to the definition of "racketeering activity" under Florida's RICO Act, allowing prosecution of patient brokering as an organized crime offense.

Establish a 5-year statute of limitations for prosecuting felony violations of patient brokering, consistent with existing timelines for workers' compensation fraud and healthcare fraud offenses.

Expand the jurisdiction of the Office of Statewide Prosecution and statewide grand juries to investigate and prosecute patient brokering violations occurring across multiple judicial circuits as part of organized criminal conspiracies.

Make patient brokering subject to the same enhanced penalties and prosecutorial tools available under Florida's RICO statutes, including civil remedies and criminal forfeitures.
