The bill amends Section 381.00322 of the Florida Statutes to prohibit governmental entities and educational institutions from adopting, implementing, or enforcing public health policies or guidelines set forth by international health organizations. The amendment removes the previous provision that allowed such actions if authorized by state law, rule, or an executive order from the Governor.
As a result of this change, the bill establishes a clear restriction on the influence of international health organizations on public health policy within Florida, ensuring that local entities cannot rely on these external guidelines. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
