MODERATE

The bill was revised to create a new statute (s. 394.6581) instead of amending an existing one, expanding the program's scope to include independent evaluation and reporting requirements. The pilot program now requires contracting for an external evaluation and submitting detailed reports to state leadership by January 15, 2029, with the program expiring on June 30, 2029. The changes clarify that crisis counselors provide voluntary follow-up care and specify their duties more comprehensively, while maintaining the focus on Polk and Volusia Counties.
