The proposed bill, titled "Vassallos Law," establishes new procedures for law enforcement agencies regarding individuals who voluntarily surrender when no arrest warrant has been issued. It creates a new section, 901.155, in the Florida Statutes, which defines key terms such as "surrendering person" and outlines the responsibilities of law enforcement officers when interacting with these individuals. The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies develop specific procedures for interviewing surrendering persons, which include documenting their identification, notifying officers, and determining if there are any alerts for the individual in question.

Additionally, the bill authorizes law enforcement officers to temporarily detain or arrest surrendering individuals under certain conditions, as well as to deliver them to a receiving facility for involuntary examination if they meet specific criteria. Officers are also required to prepare a written report detailing the circumstances of the encounter. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
