FL S0888

Removes the "no duty to retreat" provision for non-deadly force in self-defense, requiring individuals to consider retreat as an option before using or threatening non-deadly force.

Eliminates "Stand Your Ground" protections for deadly force by requiring individuals to retreat if they know they can avoid using deadly force with complete safety.

Repeals section 776.032, which provided immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use or threatened use of force.

Applies the same retreat requirement changes to both defense of persons and defense of property statutes (sections 776.012 and 776.031).

Officially titles the act the "Self-Defense Restoration Act" and takes effect upon becoming law.
