FL H0293

Amends Florida's "stand your ground" law to require that an attacker commit an overt act that reasonably leads the person attacked to believe it is necessary to meet force with force before the law applies.

Removes immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for use of deadly force if a child or bystander not affiliated with the overt act is injured.

Preserves immunity from prosecution and civil liability when force is used against a law enforcement officer who was acting in official capacity and properly identified themselves, or when the person using force knew or reasonably should have known the person was a law enforcement officer.

Takes effect on July 1, 2014.
