The bill establishes a new section, 775.37, in the Florida Statutes, which allows for modified sentences for veterans under certain conditions. A "modified sentence" is defined as a sentence that is less than the minimum required and may include waivers on eligibility for gain-time or release. The court is authorized to impose such a sentence if it finds that the defendant is a veteran with a mental health condition related to their military service and that the standard sentence is not necessary for public protection.

Additionally, the bill specifies that this provision does not apply to individuals convicted of certain offenses listed in s. 943.0435(1)(h)1.a.(I). The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
