The bill establishes a Substance Abuse Accountability Pilot Program in Hillsborough County, Florida, set to run from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2027. It outlines eligibility criteria for participants, specifically targeting individuals convicted of a felony or first-degree misdemeanor who are placed on probation with conditions requiring abstention from alcohol or controlled substances. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to the program and must be informed of their potential assignment before entering a plea. The program will include various requirements such as regular testing for substance use, attendance at judicial hearings, and the provision of legal representation. The sheriff, in consultation with other officials, will oversee the program's design and implementation.

Additionally, the bill specifies that participants may face penalties for violations, including mandatory jail time for adjudicated violations, and outlines the process for potential termination from the program after multiple violations. It also mandates an evaluation of the program's effectiveness by June 30, 2028, with a report due to key state officials by November 30, 2028. The program will be funded through state appropriations, which will be allocated for various administrative expenses, and it is set to be repealed on November 30, 2028.
