The bill amends section 379.3311 of the Florida Statutes to clarify the police powers of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and its personnel. It specifies that commission officers and designated personnel are considered peace officers with the authority to make arrests for violations of state laws, provided these violations occur in their presence or on lands managed by the commission and other related entities. The bill introduces new language stating that these officers may enter private property in the same manner and under the same requirements as law enforcement officers, as defined in section 943.10(1), for the performance of their lawful duties without constituting trespass.

Additionally, the bill allows commission officers to enforce laws related to wildlife and marine life throughout the state. It includes provisions that enable them to access all premises in the same manner and under the same requirements as law enforcement officers, replacing the previous language that referred to "posted or otherwise." The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
