The bill establishes a new section, 1004.0983, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates that state universities and Florida College System institutions create and implement written safety policies and procedures aimed at protecting the physical safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. These policies must address physical threats and any conduct that could reasonably cause fear for personal safety. Additionally, the institutions are required to designate a responsible person for coordinating responses to safety threats, establish reporting protocols, outline protective measures, provide timely updates on incidents, and ensure that the policies are accessible on their websites.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that these safety policies and procedures must be reviewed and updated annually to reflect best practices in threat assessment and campus security. The Board of Governors and the State Board of Education are authorized to adopt regulations and rules to facilitate the administration of these requirements. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
