This bill establishes a new section, 163.212, in the Florida Statutes, which authorizes counties and municipalities to license home caregivers within their respective jurisdictions. The bill aims to provide local governments with the authority to regulate and oversee the licensing of home caregivers, ensuring that these services meet specific standards and requirements.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026. This allows local governments time to prepare for the implementation of the licensing process for home caregivers, ensuring that they can adequately manage and enforce the new regulations.
