This bill amends Section 381.00322 of the Florida Statutes, specifically addressing the authority of governmental entities and educational institutions regarding the adoption and enforcement of international health organization policies. The bill repeals the provision that previously allowed these entities to implement such policies based on rules or executive orders from the Governor. As a result, governmental entities and educational institutions are now prohibited from adopting or enforcing international health organization public health policies or guidelines unless explicitly authorized by state law.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. This change aims to clarify the limitations on the authority of local entities in relation to international health guidelines, ensuring that any adoption of such policies must be grounded in state law rather than executive orders or rules.
