1(1) 2The service of process issued by a court of a state other than Florida may be made by the sheriffs of this state in the same manner as service of process issued by Florida courts. The provisions of this section shall not be interpreted to permit a sheriff to take any action against personal property, real property, or persons.
61(2) 62An officer serving such foreign process shall be deemed as acting in the performance of his or her duties for the purposes of ss. 8630.01, 8730.02, 88843.01, 89and 90843.02, 91but shall not be held liable as provided in s. 101839.19 102for failure to execute any process delivered to him or her for service.

When the service of foreign process requires duties to be performed in excess of those required by Florida courts, the sheriff may perform the additional duties and may collect reasonable additional compensation for the additional duties performed.
