The bill amends section 741.325 of the Florida Statutes to allow batterers' intervention programs to include faith-based activities. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that permits these programs to offer supplemental faith-based activities to participants. However, it explicitly states that participation in such activities cannot be mandatory for individuals enrolled in the program.
The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. This change aims to provide flexibility for batterers' intervention programs while ensuring that participation in faith-based activities remains voluntary.
