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 judicial and correctional officials, will oversee the program's design and implementation.

Additionally, the bill specifies that participants may face penalties for noncompliance, including potential jail time for violations, and outlines the process for program evaluation and reporting. It mandates that the Attorney General evaluate the program's effectiveness by June 30, 2028, and submit a report detailing participant statistics by November 30, 2028. The program will not replace existing ignition interlock requirements, and funding for the program will be allocated for various administrative needs, including personnel and training. The provisions of this section will be repealed on November 30, 2028.
