The Florida Senate

768.151  Waiver of sovereign immunity; revival of certain causes.--The waiver of sovereign immunity authorized by chapter 69-116, Laws of Florida (former s. 768.15), is revived as to causes of action arising during the period from July 1, 1969, to July 1, 1970, and the courts of this state shall have continuing jurisdiction over such actions until final judgment and satisfaction thereof. If any such action heretofore filed has been dismissed or otherwise disposed of on the grounds that chapter 69-116, Laws of Florida, was repealed by chapter 69-357, Laws of Florida, such action shall be reinstated by order of the court upon the filing of a petition by the plaintiff during the period between July 1, 1971, and July 1, 1972. Any person who has not heretofore filed suit but who claims a right of action pursuant to chapter 69-116, Laws of Florida, during its effective period shall have the right to file same at any time after July 1, 1971, but before July 1, 1972. Any action prosecuted under this section shall be subject to all provisions of chapter 69-116, Laws of Florida.
