If you are filing bankruptcy in Florida and have nonexempt equity in a vehicle, you may want to wait until July 1, 2022 to file.
The Florida Legislature recently amended F.S. 222.25, in pertinent part, adding a section, section 5, that amends the $1,000 vehicle exemption in section 1 to $5,000 for bankruptcy purposes.
As of today, the state's website indicates it is on the Governor's desk for his signature. I believe the time for vetoing has passed.
Assuming there is not a veto, the bill becomes effective July 1, 2022.
For a copy of the bill, see HB265
UPDATE: Gov. DeSantis vetoed the bill.
