The proposed bill establishes the "Postsurgical Recovery Home Safety Act" as part XII of chapter 400 of the Florida Statutes, creating sections 400.9991 through 400.9998. It aims to regulate postsurgical recovery homes by setting clear standards for licensure, safety, and patient care. The bill includes definitions of key terms, such as "postsurgical recovery home" and "patient," and outlines the legislative intent to ensure patient safety and prevent confusion with addiction recovery residences.

The bill mandates that all postsurgical recovery homes must be licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration, which will conduct inspections and enforce compliance with safety standards. It specifies minimum staffing requirements, including the presence of licensed healthcare professionals, and outlines prohibited acts, such as operating without a license. Penalties for violations include civil fines and potential felony charges for unlicensed operation. The Agency is also tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement the act, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
