Blood Testing Required Following Civilian-involved Shootings

Summary

The bill would obligate any civilian who discharges a firearm in Florida and causes injury or death to provide a blood sample within two hours of the incident. A qualified medical professional would collect the sample under law‑enforcement direction, and refusal would bring administrative or criminal penalties and waive any self‑defense claim. The law also sets rules for confidentiality of results and mandates annual reporting to state leaders.
