The proposed bill, titled "Codys Law: Florida No Vaccine-Injured Patient Left Behind," aims to enhance the process for claims related to adverse reactions to vaccines, immunizing agents, and emergency countermeasure drugs under the Medicare, Medicaid, and medically needy programs. It establishes a new section, 409.9043, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates the Agency for Health Care Administration to expedite the review and payment of claims for severe injuries diagnosed by physicians that are caused by the administration of these medical products, provided they are recommended by the FDA or the Florida Department of Health.

Additionally, the bill requires the agency to publish relevant information on its website, including lists of medical conditions associated with expedited claims, potential adverse reactions, and any new medical conditions that may arise. The agency is also tasked with informing website visitors about the requirements of this section to assist healthcare providers in serving patients with urgent medical needs. Furthermore, the agency must seek federal approval if necessary and adopt rules to implement the provisions of this bill, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
