Which penal fine could be associated with a second-degree misdemeanor?

A second-degree misdemeanor typically carries a maximum fine of $500. This amount is established by Florida law, which categorizes offenses and sets corresponding penalties. Misdemeanors are less severe than felonies, and the fines reflect this distinction.

The amounts associated with other options either exceed or do not conform to the statutory limits for a second-degree misdemeanor. Fines escalate with the severity of the offenses, where first-degree misdemeanors may have higher penalties, and felonies can have significantly larger fines, such as the $15,000 listed in one of the options. Consequently, the $500 fine aligns accurately with the legal framework governing second-degree misdemeanors in Florida.
