The proposed bill establishes a new section, 1003.211, in the Florida Statutes, focusing on the creation of school elopement plans to enhance the safety of students with disabilities at risk of elopement. It mandates that public schools form a School Staff Assistance for Emergencies (SAFE) team responsible for developing and annually updating a school elopement plan. The SAFE team, which must include the school principal, assistant principal, and at least five additional members, is tasked with creating a search grid, establishing notification procedures for elopements, and coordinating responses, including alerting law enforcement and parents.

Additionally, the bill requires the SAFE team to create student-specific elopement quick reference guides for students prone to elopement, detailing essential information such as the student's identifying details, communication level, interests, and potential locations they may seek. Schools are also required to submit their elopement plans to the district school board annually. The State Board of Education is authorized to adopt rules for the administration of this section, with the act set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
