In re: Amendments to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure
The Florida Supreme Court adopted the Civil Procedure Rules Committee's proposed amendments to rule 1.410(d) (subpoena proof of service must be made consistent with section 92.525, Florida Statutes) and to Forms 1.914(c), 1.924, 1.944(b), 1.977, and 1.981 (uniform signature blocks and notarial certificates aligned with section 117.05(13)). The Court declined to adopt the proposed amendments to rule 1.442 (Proposals for Settlement) because they appeared to touch on matters of substantive law. The amendments take effect January 1, 2027.
