Twelve laws passed this year by the Florida Legislature take effect starting Oct. 1, covering topics that range from the paperwork required to register a car to new felony charges for lying on a rental application.
Most of the roughly 230 measures from the session already went into effect on July 1; this second batch is smaller, but several of its changes directly affect drivers, renters, landlords and pet owners in South Florida.
