There is no reciprocity between Florida and any other jurisdiction. Submission to the Florida Bar Examination and completion of a character and fitness investigation is required of all applicants.

A practicing lawyer of another state may be permitted to practice as allowed by the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration regarding foreign attorneys. That lawyer must also comply with this rule. (1)Application of Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.

Not really. A California-licensed attorney may be granted temporary permission to practice law in another state for a specific case through pro hac vice admission. Be careful, however, pro hac vice practice has its limitations.
