The bill, titled "Missy's Law," establishes mandatory remand to custody for individuals convicted of dangerous crimes in Florida. It creates a new section, 903.0472, which mandates that upon a guilty verdict for a dangerous crime, the court must immediately remand the individual to custody without the possibility of bond until sentencing or further proceedings. Additionally, the bill prohibits courts from granting postconviction bond or any other form of release for those found guilty of such crimes, regardless of whether they intend to appeal. Exceptions to this remand requirement are outlined, including cases where the conviction has been vacated, reversed, set aside, or otherwise nullified.

Furthermore, the bill amends the definition of "dangerous crime" in section 907.041 to include a comprehensive list of offenses, while removing the previous provision that allowed for attempting or conspiring to commit such crimes to be classified as dangerous. New insertions expand the definition to include violations related to computer pornography or child exploitation. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
