If the victim of an aggravated battery is 65 years of age or older, Florida Statute § 784.08 requires the offense to be reclassified from a second-degree felony to a first-degree felony. This increases the maximum prison sentence from 15 years to 30 years. Additionally, the law mandates a three-year mandatory minimum prison sentence and a fine of up to $10,000, leaving the judge with no discretion to impose a lighter sentence.
