AI Summary

  • Creates a civil cause of action allowing family members (spouse, parent, sibling, or father of the unborn child) to sue any person who violates Florida's abortion restrictions under s. 390.0111(2), regardless of whether the violation occurred in Florida or another jurisdiction

  • Prevailing plaintiffs may recover $100,000 in statutory damages, injunctive relief, and reasonable attorney fees and costs, with a 2-year statute of limitations

  • The woman who received or sought the abortion cannot be sued under this law, and her consent is not a valid defense for defendants

  • Florida courts are prohibited from recognizing or enforcing "clawback" judgments from other states that penalize people for bringing lawsuits under this section, and targets of such clawback actions may countersue for damages up to $100,000 plus attorney fees

  • Effective July 1, 2026
