The bill establishes a Statewide Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism Unit within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, as outlined in the newly created section 943.0316 of the Florida Statutes. The primary goal of this unit is to conduct statewide activities aimed at detecting, identifying, neutralizing, and exploiting adversary intelligence entities, including both domestic and international threats. The unit will be housed at the department's regional operational center and will consist of at least seven teams, each aligned with a regional domestic security task force. The bill mandates the creation of an initial 10-person leadership team by July 1, 2027, and requires the department to request necessary positions and funding annually to achieve full staffing by December 30, 2033.

Each team within the unit will have specific tasks related to the state's domestic security mission, including technical operations for insider threat investigations. The composition of each team is defined, requiring a team leader, a facility security officer, intelligence analysts, and counterintelligence agents, with specific experience and training requirements for team members. The bill emphasizes the importance of counterintelligence in safeguarding the state from threats posed by adversary intelligence entities and outlines the operational framework for the unit's activities. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
