The bill, titled "Missy's Law," introduces significant changes to the handling of individuals convicted of dangerous crimes in Florida. It establishes a new section, 903.0472, which mandates that any person who pleads guilty or is found guilty of a dangerous crime must be remanded to custody immediately and remain there without the possibility of bond until sentencing. This provision applies regardless of whether the individual intends to appeal the conviction. However, it does not apply if the conviction is later vacated, reversed, set aside, or otherwise nullified, nor if the individual has already served the maximum statutory sentence for the offense.

Additionally, the bill amends the definition of "dangerous crime" in section 907.041 to include a comprehensive list of offenses, such as arson, aggravated assault, homicide, and human trafficking, while removing the previous inclusion of "attempting or conspiring to commit any such crime." It also adds violations related to computer pornography or child exploitation to the list of dangerous crimes. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
