The bill amends section 92.70 of the Florida Statutes to establish comprehensive guidelines for eyewitness identification procedures in criminal investigations. It introduces several new definitions, including "facial recognition technology," "filler," and "identification procedure," while revising existing terms. Key provisions require law enforcement officers to document eyewitness descriptions of suspects, ensure that lineups are conducted by independent administrators, and limit the use of facial recognition technology. The bill mandates that lineups consist of the suspect and at least five fillers who resemble the eyewitness's description, and it emphasizes that lineups should be preferred over show-ups or in-court identifications.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific instructions that must be provided to eyewitnesses before identification procedures, including the importance of excluding innocent individuals and the necessity for documentation of the eyewitness's confidence level in their identification. It also requires audio and video recording of identification procedures, with exceptions, and allows attorneys for both the prosecution and defense to be present during lineups, provided they do not influence the process. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
