The bill amends section 741.325 of the Florida Statutes to allow batterers intervention programs to include faith-based content as part of their curriculum. Specifically, it adds a provision stating that while the program content must be based on cognitive behavioral therapy or psychoeducational models, it may also incorporate faith-based components. This change aims to provide more flexibility in the types of interventions available to individuals in these programs.

Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Children and Families to repeal a specific rule in the Florida Administrative Code to align with the new provisions of the act. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
