The proposed 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, and the procedure for testing is specified, including administration by a qualified medical professional and analysis by a state-certified laboratory.

Additionally, the bill outlines the consequences for refusing to submit to testing, which may include administrative or criminal penalties and a waiver of self-defense claims in subsequent legal proceedings. It also addresses the confidentiality of test results, stating that they will be part of the official investigative record and can be disclosed after the investigation concludes, unless restricted by law or court order. Furthermore, the Department of Law Enforcement is tasked with submitting an annual report detailing the number of incidents, compliance with testing, and recommendations for improving firearm safety and accountability. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
