Summary: The Criminal and Civil Justice Committee met with a quorum present and began with a notice that the committee would not present its budget that day, explaining that the budget rollout would be coordinated with House partners and Senate notice requirements, with the next opportunity expected the following week. The committee then moved to legislation, starting with CS for SB 760 by Senator McLean, the Victim Safety and Pre-Trial Release Act, which would address willful violations of court-ordered no-contact conditions for defendants on pretrial release for serious violent crimes. The bill had support from the Florida Sheriffs Association, received no debate, and was reported favorably by roll call vote. The committee next considered SB 1536 by Senator Pizzo on digital voyeurism, described as expanding the reasonable expectation of privacy to include a privately fenced yard. The transcript shows the chair moved on before questions or a vote were taken on that bill. The committee then took up CS for SB 102 by Senator Yarbrough on inmate services, first adopting a leave-filed amendment that revised provisions on inmate welfare trust funds, Medicaid supplemental reimbursement participation, emergency transport reimbursement, and negotiated rates for certain community health care providers, including telehealth and secure-unit care. Justin Senior of the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida testified in information, saying the amendment was a major positive move, and the amended bill was then reported favorably. At the end of the meeting, the chair noted that two agenda items were being temporarily postponed: CS for SB 1582 on statewide data sharing of secondhand dealer and pawnbroker transactions and SB 1792 on public records for pawnbroker transactions. No further business was raised, and the committee adjourned after a motion by Senator Simon.

Summary: The Senate Corrections and Public Safety Committee met in hybrid format but did not have a quorum, so it held approval of the May 13 and June 10 minutes. The committee heard House Bill 351, sponsored by Senator Brown, which would update Delaware law on vehicle security circumvention devices. The bill would criminalize the manufacture, sale, transfer, or possession of devices used to bypass keyless entry and push-to-start vehicle security systems, while exempting certified users such as locksmiths, mechanics, dealerships, repossession agents, and law enforcement. Senator Brown said the measure is intended to address modern vehicle theft methods and increase penalties for first and repeat offenses. Testimony in support came from Howard Handler of the National Insurance Crime Bureau and Sergeant Mike Ripple of the Delaware State Police. Handler said Delaware has seen more than 1,600 vehicle thefts in 2025 and that organized theft rings increasingly use key programming and relay devices, often in under a minute. Ripple said the devices are easily purchased online, are being used in Delaware and nearby states, and have contributed to a sharp rise in auto thefts, especially involving certain makes such as Jeeps, Hondas, and Toyotas. Committee members asked about enforcement, online sales restrictions, and whether similar laws in other states have been effective; witnesses said the technology is new and that comparable laws have been enacted in states such as New Jersey and Michigan, though no effectiveness data was available. During public comment, Robert Overmiller spoke in favor of the bill, saying criminals will always find ways to exploit new technology. Several committee members indicated support for the measure, but no vote was taken because the committee lacked a quorum. The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn.
