Child Welfare

Summary

The proposal would change Florida law to define child abuse more broadly, require fast‑track court hearings for urgent custody or visitation disputes, and give police new powers to enforce lawful custody rights. It would impact children, parents or legal guardians, judges, law‑enforcement officers, and the courts by adding new procedures, penalties, and reporting requirements. The measure did not pass and was terminated in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
