Florida law at a glance

  • Florida’s Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 120, Florida Statutes) governs how state agencies take action against licenses and how that action can be challenged.
  • A request for a hearing generally must be filed within 21 days after receiving the agency’s notice, so deadlines matter from the first letter.
  • Disputed facts are usually heard by an administrative law judge at the Division of Administrative Hearings.

General information about Florida law, not legal advice about your situation. Deadlines and requirements depend on the facts and the documents involved.
