Temporary Cash Assistance Eligibility

Summary

The bill changes Florida's temporary cash assistance rules so a person cannot be denied benefits just because they have a felony drug conviction, unless the conviction is for drug trafficking. It also protects victims of human trafficking from denial and requires any drug‑related applicant to meet all program and treatment requirements. The change would take effect on July 1, 2026, but the measure died in committee.
