Committee:
Senate Criminal Justice
Summary:
The committee met and took up several criminal justice, public safety, and boating measures. It first heard SB 168, the Tristan Murphy Act, which would create mental health diversion options for eligible misdemeanor and felony defendants, expand mental health and substance abuse grant uses, require evaluations and treatment recommendations in certain cases, add Hillsborough County to a forensic diversion pilot list, and create a behavioral health data repository. After adopting a technical amendment, the bill received strong support from NAMI Florida, family advocates, sheriffs, and the Murphy family, and was reported favorably on a unanimous vote.
The committee also approved SB 86, expanding peer support programs for certain law enforcement support personnel, and SB 472, allowing inmates who complete approved education in correctional facilities to receive credit toward professional licensure requirements. Both bills were amended and then reported favorably without opposition. SB 276, which increases penalties for unlawfully sheltering or aiding an unmarried minor and creates a defense for actions taken to protect a minor from danger, drew questions about runaway youth, LGBTQ youth, and the scope of the defense; the sponsor said he was open to further amendment, and the bill passed favorably.
Members then approved SB 402, updating the unlawful use of uniforms, medals, or insignia statute to reference the armed forces by definition rather than by branch. SB 490, as amended, would let law enforcement, correctional, and correctional probation officers carry concealed off duty and exempt law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and active military service members from the three-day waiting period for rifle and shotgun purchases; it passed 8-1 after debate over the waiting period and equal treatment concerns. Finally, the committee passed SB 628, Lucy’s Law, to strengthen boating safety and penalties, after adopting an amendment that removed proposed changes to warrantless blood draws and boating education requirements; the bill was supported by the family of Lucy Fernandez and passed unanimously. The meeting then adjourned.

Committee:
Joint Joint Committee on Revenue
Summary:
The Joint Committee on Revenue held a hybrid hearing on 32 bills related to veterans and service members, with opening remarks from Chair Madaro and Senator Eldridge emphasizing the committee’s work on tax credits and property tax relief, including follow-up to the HERO Act of 2024. The chairs outlined hearing procedures, noted the August 23 reporting deadline for House-filed matters, and explained that testimony would focus on issues including voluntary contributions, sales tax, property tax, and economic development. No votes were taken during the hearing.
Several bills drew testimony in support of expanding or simplifying veterans’ property tax benefits. Rep. Sylvia supported H. 3255 to raise the veterans’ property tax workoff cap from $1,500 to $2,000, matching the senior workoff program. Rep. Soder and Sen. Moore advocated for stronger property tax relief for disabled veterans, including H. 3245 and S. 2046, with Moore proposing a disability-based exemption and state reimbursement to municipalities. Rep. McGregor supported H. 3175, which would eliminate the need for veterans to refile annually for exemptions unless their status changes, arguing it would reduce burdens on veterans and assessors.
Testimony also addressed line-of-duty death benefits and local implementation concerns. Mary Ann Cardi supported H. 3188 to clarify that surviving spouses of police and fire personnel who died in the line of duty qualify for a full real estate exemption. Chris Clark, Senator Sear, and Counselor Ludke all backed the veterans’ workoff bill, describing it as an equity fix that would align the veterans’ program with the senior program and help municipalities like Barnstable use the benefit more effectively. After hearing from all scheduled speakers and confirming no additional in-person testimony, the chairs adjourned the hearing.

Summary:
The House Appropriations and Finance Committee heard Senate Bill 273 and Senate Bill 274 and first adopted an amendment combining the two measures into one appropriations bill. Staff explained that SB 273 was a response to House Bill 9 and would provide temporary funding to Torrance, Otero, and Cibola counties to offset losses tied to prison facility closures or reduced operations, while SB 274 funded several executive priorities including aging and long-term services, DOT raises, PED school improvement activities, compensation for the Pueblo of Zia regarding use of the Zia symbol, and CYFD-related needs. Committee members asked about the Cibola prisoner transport costs, the tribal inmate arrangements, the Zia symbol payment, and whether the county aid would help preserve jobs and operations.
The committee then adopted a series of amendments. The first reduced SB 273 to FY27-only funding rather than spanning FY27 and FY28, with Otero’s appropriation largely unchanged because it is needed up front. A second amendment corrected the distribution language from one-twenty-fourth to one-twelfth, and a third voice amendment, based on additional data from Representative Lord, increased Torrance-related amounts and added a prisoner transport appropriation for Torrance County. Members noted the changes were intended to better match current data and allow the legislature to revisit FY28 needs later if necessary.
After limited public comment from Representative Lord, who said she had corrected the Torrance numbers using clerk-provided data, the committee voted to do pass the Senate Finance Committee substitute for SB 273 as amended three times. The motion passed without opposition, and the committee adjourned.
