Summary:
The Committee on Regulated Industries met with a quorum and took up four bills. First, it considered SB 1724 on municipal utility services. Senator Martin offered a late-filed delete-everything amendment that would require annual customer meetings for extraterritorial utility customers, cap use of gross utility revenues for general government at 10%, eliminate a 25% surcharge on customers outside city limits, reduce the rate differential cap from 50% to 25%, remove municipal natural gas utilities from the bill, and preserve certain existing bond-related surcharges until debt is retired or refinanced. The League of Cities raised implementation concerns about the July 1, 2026 effective date and the need for rate studies and budget adjustments. The amendment was adopted and the committee reported CS/SB 1724 favorably.
The committee then heard SB 936 on temporary door locking devices from Senator McLean. The bill would define temporary door locking devices, allow them to be installed at any height, require the Florida Building Commission to add standards to the Florida Building Code, and require their use to be incorporated into safety plans, drills, and training. With no opposition or amendments, SB 936 was reported favorably.
Next, the committee considered SB 1014 by Senator Mayfield, which would prohibit municipalities from refusing water or wastewater service solely because a property owner will not annex, and would require service expansion when a property is near a municipal main line, not served by another utility, and the utility has capacity. A committee amendment narrowed the bill to properties near a main line and reduced the distance threshold from 2,000 meters to one-half mile. The Florida League of Cities opposed the bill as amended, citing concerns about property size, annexation conflicts, enclave creation, and possible revenue impacts, but the bill was reported favorably.
Finally, the committee heard SB 1498 on community associations from Chair Bradley. A strike-all amendment revised technical provisions on video conference recordings, turnover inspection reports, SIRS references, and electronic voting, and added two major policy changes: requiring associations to provide records to law enforcement and prosecutors and creating a second-degree misdemeanor for willful refusal, and prohibiting mandatory club or amenity fee schemes controlled by developers or third parties that generate profit beyond proportional expenses. Testimony in support described homeowner disputes involving concentrated board control, lack of transparency, and mandatory fees in communities such as Rosedale. The amendment was adopted and CS/SB 1498 was reported favorably. At the end of the meeting, Senator Bracey Davis asked to be recorded voting in the affirmative on tabs 1, 2, and 3, and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The committee took up a series of criminal justice and public safety bills. SB 646, allowing the use of drug testing tools such as fentanyl test strips and reagent kits to detect dangerous adulterants, was presented as a harm-reduction measure and reported favorably after supportive testimony from advocates and criminal defense groups. SB 442, extending the return period for warrants involving digital evidence from 45 days to one year, also passed unanimously amid testimony from prosecutors and law enforcement about encryption, backlogs, and large volumes of child exploitation evidence. SB 418, creating autism-related law enforcement training and a Blue Envelope Program for traffic stops and other encounters, was reported favorably with support from police, disability advocates, and families. SB 132, creating a public database to help people determine eligibility for restoration of voting rights, and SB 748, requiring notice of voting-rights restoration information on sentencing score sheets, both passed with broad support from voting-rights and criminal defense advocates.
The committee also approved SB 1734, recognizing juvenile probation and detention officers as officers under Florida law and extending related training and benefits, and SB 1660, designating June as Responsible Firearm Safety Awareness Month. SB 1742, which repealed the existing “unnatural and lascivious acts” statute and created a new offense for indecent exposure of sexual organs to a minor, was amended with a delete-all amendment and then reported favorably. SB 1750, a major overhaul of career offender registration requirements, was later reconsidered after a bill-number mix-up and then reported favorably as SB 1332, with FDLE and sheriff’s association support.
The most contentious measure was SB 1326, which would eliminate the traditional insanity defense and replace it with a lack-of-culpable-mental-state defense, require malingering assessments in competency evaluations, and limit downward departures based on mental illness. Criminal defense attorneys and disability advocates argued it lacked a treatment component, raised scientific and cost concerns, and could worsen public safety by sending mentally ill defendants to prison without adequate care. Supporters, including the sponsor and the Attorney General’s office, argued it would close gaps and better protect the public. After extensive debate, the bill was reported favorably on a divided vote, with several members voting no. At the end of the meeting, members recorded additional votes on some bills, and Senator Pizzo moved for reconsideration of SB 1326 for a future meeting.

Summary:
The Appropriations Committee on Criminal and Civil Justice met with a quorum and took up several bills. SB 646 by President Gates, relating to drug paraphernalia, was presented as a narrow measure to allow the use of drug-testing tools such as test strips and reagent kits to detect fentanyl and other dangerous adulterants; Senator Osgood spoke in strong support from a recovery perspective. The bill was reported favorably after a roll call vote.
The committee then heard SB 418 by Senator Jones, which would require law enforcement training on autism spectrum disorder and create a voluntary Blue Envelope Program for drivers with ASD to store key documents and communication tips. The bill drew extensive supportive testimony from Disability Rights Florida, autism advocates, parents, and others, with some discussion about expanding similar training to corrections and other disabilities. Members praised the bill as a practical safety measure, and SB 418 was reported favorably.
Next, SB 132 by Senator Polsky, as amended, would direct the Florida Commission on Offender Review to create and maintain a public database to help people determine when they have completed the requirements for restoration of voting rights, with monthly updates and clear instructions for eligible individuals. The committee adopted an amendment making the database subject to legislative appropriation, then reported the bill favorably. SB 1734 by Senator Martin, which recognizes juvenile probation and detention officers as officers under Florida law and extends related training, certification, and benefits, was also reported favorably. Finally, the committee adopted a strike-all amendment to SB 820 by Senator Bradley to strengthen reporting requirements for problem-solving courts, including annual reports from all specialty courts and a phased-in data collection process; the amended bill was reported favorably. The meeting ended with adjournment.

Summary:
The Senate State Government, Tribal Affairs, and Elections Committee met on February 3, 2026, first in executive session on 13 bills and then for a public hearing on Second Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1541. The executive session covered election rules, holiday designations, public disclosure exemptions, agency reporting changes, a Civil Air Patrol division, a law enforcement aviation grant program, JLARC review of audit and risk practices, demographic data collection, and a capital stewardship account. Several members noted concerns or support on specific bills, including objections to the cost of the aviation grant program and comments that the holiday bill should be more inclusive. Amendments were adopted on several measures, including changes to the law enforcement aviation bill, the JLARC audit review bill, the agency reports bill, the public disclosure bill, and the demographic data bill; one proposed amendment to the holiday bill was withdrawn.
The committee then voted all 13 executive-session bills out with due-pass recommendations, sending most to the Rules Committee and the fiscal bills to Ways and Means. The chair announced each bill passed subject to signatures. Senate Bill 5950, expanding recognized non-legal holidays, passed despite a member stating he would be without recommendation because of a missing Buddhist observance. Senate Bill 5763, the aviation support grant program, and Senate Bills 6215 and 5784 were advanced with substitutes. Senate Bill 6160, on agency reports, was praised as a government-efficiency measure, and Senate Bill 5489, designating the Wilkinson sandstone as the state sandstone, also passed.
In the public hearing, the committee heard testimony on Second Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1541, which revises the membership of the Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee by increasing at-large seats, reducing the number of VSO-designated seats, and allowing appointments to reflect broader military experience and personal attributes. The prime sponsor and a co-sponsor described the bill as a compromise reached after prior concerns, including representation for formerly justice-involved veterans, tribal veterans, and National Guard members. The director of the Department of Veterans Affairs testified in support, saying the changes would provide more flexibility in appointments and better reflect veteran communities. The hearing record noted 57 pro and one con sign-ins, and the committee adjourned after closing the hearing.

The amended bill would require annual customer meetings for certain municipal utility customers outside city limits, cap use of gross utility revenues for general government purposes, require excess funds to be reinvested or returned, reduce the outside-city surcharge and rate differential caps, and phase out certain surcharges tied to existing bond covenants. The Florida League of Cities raised implementation concerns about the July 1, 2026 effective date and the need for time to complete rate studies and budget adjustments. The committee then reported the bill favorably.
Members also heard SB 936 on temporary door locking devices, which would define and authorize such devices, direct the Florida Building Commission to add standards to the building code, and require their use to be incorporated into safety plans, drills, and training.

The committee next considered SB 1014, which would prohibit municipalities from refusing water and wastewater service solely because a property owner will not annex, if the property is near a municipal main line, not already served by another utility, and the utility has capacity. An amendment narrowed the distance trigger to one-half mile and clarified the main-line requirement. The Florida League of Cities opposed the bill as amended, citing concerns about impacts on annexation policy, potential duplication of services, and possible subsidy of outside customers, but the committee still reported the bill favorably.
Finally, the committee heard SB 1498 on community associations. A strike-all amendment made technical changes to turnover inspection and electronic voting provisions and added two major policy changes: requiring associations to provide records to law enforcement and prosecutors, with a misdemeanor penalty for willful noncompliance, and prohibiting certain developer-controlled mandatory club fee arrangements that generate perpetual profit beyond proportional expenses. Testimony in support came from homeowners describing alleged governance abuses and mandatory fee schemes in their communities, while the Community Associations Institute supported the amendment. The committee reported CS for SB 1498 favorably. At the end of the meeting, Senators Bracey Davis and Calatayud asked to be recorded as voting in the affirmative on selected bills.
