The bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to the Medical Examiners Commission and the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission within the Department of Law Enforcement. Key changes include specifying that appointments and reappointments to the Medical Examiners Commission remain in force until the appointee resigns, no longer qualifies, or a new member is appointed by the Governor. Additionally, the Medical Examiners Commission will now be responsible for appointing district medical examiners by majority vote, rather than the Governor. The bill also requires the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission to act independently of any criminal justice agency and mandates the establishment of various online training components related to diabetic emergencies, medical use of marijuana, autism spectrum disorder, and Alzheimer's disease.

Furthermore, the bill outlines new procedures for serving administrative complaints to certified law enforcement and correctional officers, ensuring that service is provided via certified mail and email, with additional notification methods if proof of service is not obtained. The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission is tasked with developing online training courses for law enforcement agencies on the specified topics, which will count towards the required hours for continued employment. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
