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. These policies must aim to protect the physical safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors from physical threats and any conduct that could reasonably cause fear for their safety. The bill outlines specific requirements for these policies, including the designation of a responsible person for coordinating responses to safety threats, establishing reporting protocols, outlining protective measures, providing timely updates on incidents, and ensuring that the policies are accessible on institutional websites.

Additionally, the bill requires that these safety policies and procedures be reviewed and updated annually to reflect best practices in threat assessment and campus security. It also authorizes the Board of Governors and the State Board of Education to adopt necessary regulations and rules to facilitate the implementation of this section. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
