Mandatory Minimums
A firm minimum sentence when DUI Manslaughter claims an on-duty first responder or roadway worker.
End of watch — July 12, 2026
Antonio's LawHe moved over for others.
Antonio Marazita — “Dude” — was an FDOT Road Ranger who spent his shifts on the shoulder of Florida's highways protecting strangers. On July 12, 2026, a drunk driver killed him in the line of duty. His mother, Joi A. Marazita, founded Antonio's Law so no other family is handed a sentence lighter than their loss.

Antonio “Dude” Marazita
FDOT Road Ranger
The Memorial
A son, a brother,a first responder.
Everyone called him Dude. He was the kid in the Master Chief helmet who grew into the man who ran toward wreckage. As an FDOT Road Ranger, Antonio patrolled Florida's interstates changing tires in ninety-degree heat, clearing debris out of live lanes, and standing between stranded families and oncoming traffic.
He worked the shoulder — the most dangerous strip of pavement in the state — with amber lights flashing and nothing but a safety vest between him and traffic that refused to slow down or move over.
On July 12, 2026, a drunk driver ended his watch. Antonio was doing his job. He was doing it for someone else. That is how his mother, Joi A. Marazita, has chosen to carry his name forward: not as a headline, but as a law.
“My son moved over for everyone else. I am asking Florida to finally move over for him.”

Ask the familyIt raises DUI Manslaughter penalties when the victim is an on-duty first responder or roadway worker, blocks the plea reductions that strip impairment from the record, puts real teeth behind Florida's Move Over law, and formally classifies FDOT Road Rangers as protected responders.
Joi A. Marazita, Antonio's mother. She began Antonio's Law in the weeks after his death on July 12, 2026, and leads every part of it — the drafting, the letters, and the family outreach.
Yes. Letters are compiled and delivered to Florida legislators evaluating sponsorship. Volume of documented public support is one of the few things that reliably moves a draft bill onto a committee agenda.
Drivers must vacate the lane closest to a stopped emergency, utility, sanitation, or roadside service vehicle when possible, and slow well below the speed limit when it is not. It is widely ignored and rarely cited — which is exactly what Antonio's Law addresses.
Request items through the support desk on this page. The family coordinates each order personally, so include the item, quantity, and your mailing details in your message.
Please do. Share it with your local representatives, your workplace safety team, and anyone who drives past flashing amber lights. Awareness is the enforcement mechanism we have today.
