The proposed bill establishes the Communication Rights of individuals with disabilities by creating a new section, 393.0665, in the Florida Statutes. It defines key terms such as "alternative communication method," "health care provider," and "individual with a disability." The bill asserts that individuals with disabilities have the right to communicate in their preferred manner and prohibits state agencies, schools, and health care providers from restricting or denying access to these preferred communication methods. It recognizes various alternative communication methods, including augmentative devices, sign language, and speech-generating technologies, and outlines specific rights for individuals with disabilities regarding their communication needs.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Agency for Persons with Disabilities to adopt rules and develop training programs for professionals who interact with individuals with disabilities. It establishes the Communication Rights Advisory Board to advise the agency on related matters, with a composition that includes individuals with disabilities and professionals in the field. The bill also includes provisions for reporting violations and imposes civil penalties for non-compliance. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
