The bill establishes a new section, 163.212, in the Florida Statutes, which authorizes counties and municipalities to license home caregivers within their respective jurisdictions. This provision allows local governments to regulate the licensing of home caregivers, thereby ensuring that these services meet specific standards and requirements as determined by local authorities.

The act will take effect on July 1, 2026, providing ample time for local governments to prepare for the implementation of this licensing framework. The bill aims to enhance the quality of care provided by home caregivers and ensure that they operate under regulated conditions that protect the welfare of individuals receiving care.
