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 licensing, staffing, and facility safety to ensure patient safety and well-being. The bill mandates that these homes must be licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration, which will conduct inspections prior to licensing and annually thereafter. It also outlines minimum staffing requirements, including the presence of licensed nurses and specific training for all staff.

Additionally, the bill prohibits the operation or advertisement of postsurgical recovery homes without a license and establishes penalties for violations, including civil fines and potential felony charges for operating without a license. The Agency for Health Care Administration is tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement the act, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
