The bill establishes a new requirement under Florida Statutes by creating section 914.18, which mandates that attorneys, investigators, or agents acting on behalf of a criminal defendant must file a notice of intent to contact a victim before doing so for the purpose of obtaining information related to a pending criminal case. This notice must be submitted within 72 hours prior to the contact attempt and does not apply to interactions that occur during court proceedings or depositions.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the notice must be filed using a standard form developed by the state attorney in each judicial circuit. The effective date for this new requirement is set for July 1, 2026.
