FL S0156

Named the "Officer Jason Raynor Act," this bill enhances criminal penalties for offenses committed against law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and correctional probation officers in Florida

Prohibits the use or threatened use of force to resist any arrest or detention by a law enforcement officer acting in good faith, defined as making sincere and reasonable efforts to comply with legal requirements even if the arrest is later found unlawful

Adds manslaughter to the list of offenses requiring mandatory life imprisonment without eligibility for release when the victim is a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional probation officer engaged in official duties

Increases the offense severity ranking for battery on law enforcement officers from Level 4 to Level 5 on the Criminal Punishment Code chart, resulting in harsher sentencing guidelines

Removes the requirement that officers be engaged in "lawful" performance of duties, replacing it with "official duties" for enhanced penalty provisions to apply in assault, battery, and resisting arrest statutes
