FL S1512

Amends Florida's motor vehicle dealer regulations by defining "business day" and creating a pre-litigation notice-of-claim process for disputes with motor vehicle dealers.

Requires claimants to provide written notice to dealers at least 15 days before filing civil litigation, including detailed information about the claim, alleged violations, and damages calculation.

Directs the Department of Legal Affairs to create and publish a standardized notice-of-claim form that dealers must provide to customers at each transaction; dealers who fail to provide the form waive their right to receive notice.

Prevents claimants from initiating litigation if the dealer pays the claimed actual damages plus a 10 percent surcharge (capped at $500) within 15 business days of receiving the notice; limits dealers' liability for attorney fees if they timely dispute the claim's validity.

Exempts class actions, actions by enforcement authorities, and claims for personal injury or death from the notice-of-claim requirement.
