The bill amends section 493.6102 of the Florida Statutes to exempt certain individuals from specific requirements when providing voluntary armed security services at churches or other religious organizations. It introduces a new subsection (16) that outlines the criteria for this exemption. To qualify, individuals must hold a valid concealed weapon or firearm license, provide security services exclusively on the premises of the religious organization, and not receive compensation for their services, except for reimbursement of reasonable expenses related to training or equipment.

This legislation aims to facilitate the provision of security at places of worship while ensuring that those offering such services meet specific qualifications. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
