It probably goes under a "general" law of some sort but here is how one local TV station explained it:


RELATED: What Florida's 'stay at home' order means for residents
"Law enforcement will try to ask each person what they're doing there and if it's going to shopping or somewhere, they will work with that person to try to make sure they comply with the order without first arresting them or charging them," he said.
Aronberg said the orders are enforceable by 60 days in the county jail, because it's a second-degree misdemeanor.
"Yes, we have the power to make an arrest and to charge people with a crime for violating it, but we'd rather not get to there," he said. "We'd rather people voluntarily comply with it and that way it's neighbor watching over neighbor and making sure this is the safest our community can be."

How will Florida'''s '''stay at home''' order be enforced?
Wowza! Thanx EdFNJ!
