The bill aims to enhance pediatric patient care in hospital emergency departments across Florida by amending several sections of the Florida Statutes. It mandates that each hospital with an emergency department develop and implement specific policies and procedures for pediatric care, including training for staff, recording weights in kilograms, and designating a pediatric emergency care coordinator. Additionally, hospitals are required to conduct the National Pediatric Readiness Assessment and may also perform the National Pediatric Readiness Project's Open Assessment in years when the main assessment is not conducted.

Furthermore, the bill requires the agency to establish minimum standards for pediatric patient care in emergency departments and to collect and publish assessment scores from hospitals. The agency must publish the overall assessment scores from the National Pediatric Readiness Assessments by specified deadlines, ensuring transparency and accountability in pediatric care. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
