What is a second degree misdemeanor?

Misdemeanors of the second degree are the least serious misdemeanors in Florida, and a conviction can result in a jail term of up to 60 days and a fine of up to $500. If lawmakers fail to classify a misdemeanor, then it is punishable as a misdemeanor of the second degree. (Fla. Stat. § § 775.081, 775.082, 775.083.) For example, prostitution is a misdemeanor of the second degree.
