This bill establishes a new requirement for blood testing following civilian-involved shootings in Florida, as outlined in the newly created section 790.402 of the Florida Statutes. It defines key terms, including "civilian" and "civilian-involved shooting," and mandates that any civilian who discharges a firearm resulting in injury or death must submit to a blood test within two hours of the incident. The testing aims to determine the presence of alcohol or controlled substances. The procedure for testing is specified, including that it must be conducted by a qualified medical professional and analyzed by a state-certified laboratory. Refusal to submit to testing can lead to administrative or criminal penalties and is considered a waiver of self-defense claims in related legal proceedings.

Additionally, the bill addresses the confidentiality and disclosure of test results, stating that they will be part of the official investigative record and can be disclosed after the investigation concludes, barring any legal prohibitions. The Department of Law Enforcement is tasked with submitting an annual report detailing the number of civilian-involved shooting incidents, compliance with testing requirements, aggregate testing results, and recommendations for improving firearm safety and accountability. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
