This bill amends the definition of "forensic client" in section 916.106 of the Florida Statutes. The revised definition now includes any defendant who has been committed to the department or agency under specific sections, including the newly added section 916.303(3). The previous reference to section 916.302 has been deleted from the definition.

Additionally, the bill reenacts paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section 402.164 to incorporate the updated definition of "forensic client" from section 916.106. This ensures that the term "client" encompasses various categories, including those defined in multiple sections related to different agencies and services. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
