The bill amends section 741.325 of the Florida Statutes to allow batterers' intervention programs to include faith-based content. Specifically, it adds a provision stating that while the program content must be based on cognitive behavioral therapy or psychoeducational models addressing power and control dynamics, it may also incorporate faith-based components.
Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Children and Families to repeal a specific rule in the Florida Administrative Code to align with this new provision. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
