The bill establishes a new section in Florida law, specifically section 1003.211, which mandates public schools to create a School Staff Assistance for Emergencies (SAFE) team and a school elopement plan to ensure the safety of students with disabilities who are at risk of elopement. The SAFE team, which must include the school principal, assistant principal, and at least five other members, is responsible for developing and annually updating the elopement plan. This plan must include a search grid of the school and surrounding areas, procedures for notifying school administrators and law enforcement in the event of an elopement, and a coordinated response strategy.

Additionally, if a student is prone to elopement, the SAFE team is required to create a student-specific elopement quick reference guide in collaboration with the student's parent. This guide must contain essential information about the student, including identifying details, communication level, interests, health considerations, and potential locations the student may go. Schools are also required to provide their elopement plans to the district school board annually, and the State Board of Education is authorized to adopt rules for the administration of this section. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
