BRIEF New law on code enforcement complaints Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on June 29 signed into law Senate Bill 60, which bars code enforcement officers from investigating anonymous complaints. All code enforcement reports must include the complainant’s personal information, including name and address. The one exception to the law applies when inspectors have reason to believe the violation is “an imminent” threat to the public, habitat or sensitive resources. The law went into effect on Thursday, July 1.
