The bill amends section 61.122 of the Florida Statutes, establishing new requirements for parties seeking to disqualify a court-appointed psychologist involved in parenting plan recommendations. It mandates that a party must first seek disqualification of the psychologist before filing an administrative complaint against them. The complaint must include the complainant's personal information and cannot be filed anonymously. Additionally, the bill revises the process for disqualification motions, requiring parents to petition the presiding judge to appoint an alternative psychologist if they can show good cause.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities for costs and attorney fees in supplemental actions against court-appointed psychologists. If a supplemental legal action is filed against a psychologist and they are found not liable, the claimant is responsible for all reasonable costs and attorney fees for both parties. Conversely, if the psychologist is found liable in civil court, they must cover the claimant's reasonable costs and attorney fees. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
