Indecent Exposure of Sexual Organs While Observing a Child

FailedFiled Jan 9, 2026
Sponsor: Appropriations Committee on Criminal and Civil Justice
Latest Action

Laid on Table, companion bill(s) passed, see CS/CS/HB 1525 (Ch. 2026-159)

Mar 10, 2026

Summary

The bill repeals Florida’s existing “unnatural and lascivious acts” statute and creates a new offense that makes it a third‑degree felony to intentionally expose sexual organs or perform sexual acts, even without contact, while observing a child under 16 for sexual gratification. It defines “observing” as being visible to the child, lists limited exceptions, and updates related child‑abuse interview and search‑warrant rules. The measure failed to pass, though a companion bill (HB 1525) was enacted.
