Laid on Table; Companion bill(s) passed, see SB 418 (Ch. 2026-147)
Summary
The measure would have given the Department of Law Enforcement authority to adopt rules for the Florida Medal of Valor and Blue/Red Heart Medals, changed how the Medical Examiners Commission appoints and reappoints members and district medical examiners, and created a new system for collecting immigration detainer information and allowing administrative expunction of certain records. It also permitted organ‑procurement organizations to access specific autopsy reports and required the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission to provide online training on medical topics. The bill failed after being laid on the table, though a companion Senate bill passed.
