This bill amends section 775.15 of the Florida Statutes to modify the statute of limitations for offenses related to required reports concerning children. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that states the limitations period for violations of section 39.201 does not commence until a law enforcement agency or another governmental agency, excluding the institution where the violation occurred, is made aware of the violation.

The bill aims to ensure that the time frame for prosecuting such offenses is extended, allowing for more thorough investigations and accountability when violations are reported. The new legal language added to the statute clarifies the conditions under which the limitations period begins, thereby enhancing the protection of children's welfare in reporting scenarios. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
