The proposed bill establishes a new section, 1003.211, in the Florida Statutes, focusing on student elopement, particularly for students with disabilities. It mandates that public schools create a School Staff Assistance for Emergencies (SAFE) Team and develop a comprehensive school elopement plan. This plan must include procedures for promptly notifying a student's parent if an elopement occurs. The SAFE Team, which includes the school principal, assistant principal, and at least five additional members, is responsible for creating and updating the elopement plan, training school personnel, and responding to elopement incidents.

Additionally, for students prone to elopement, the SAFE Team is required to collaborate with the student's parent to create a student-specific elopement quick reference guide. This guide must contain essential information such as the student's identifying details, a current photograph, communication level, interests, health considerations, and potential elopement locations. Schools must also submit their elopement plans to the district school board annually, and the State Board of Education is authorized to adopt rules for the implementation of this section. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
