The bill establishes a new section in Florida Statutes, specifically s. 1003.5717, which mandates the Department of Education to create and implement a workforce credential program for students with autism spectrum disorder by January 31, 2026. The program aims to assist these students in securing employment after graduation by allowing them to earn badges that signify the acquisition of specific skills that meet employer needs. Each badge will require students to demonstrate five discrete skills or behaviors, including workplace safety, and must be validated by two instructional staff members specializing in exceptional student education.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Education to produce an annual report from 2026 to 2030, detailing the program's operations. This report must include information on the badges offered, post-graduation employment data, student participation rates, and any other relevant outcome data as determined by the department. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
