The bill establishes new regulations regarding custodial interrogations of minors by law enforcement officers and school employees in Florida. It defines "custodial interrogation" as questioning that is likely to elicit an incriminating response from a minor under circumstances where the minor would reasonably feel they are not free to leave. The bill stipulates that such interrogations can only occur if the minor has consulted with a parent, legal guardian, or legal counsel, and that the interrogation must be recorded both visually and audibly. Importantly, this right to consultation cannot be waived by the minor or anyone on their behalf.

An exception to the consultation requirement is provided if the law enforcement officer or school employee can demonstrate, with written agreement from their supervisor, that there is imminent harm or danger to the minor or another individual. The bill aims to protect the rights of minors during custodial interrogations and is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
