Bill > S1446

This bill amends Florida Statute 934.03 to allow individuals to legally intercept and record oral communications if they are a party to the conversation and have reasonable grounds to believe the recording will capture evidence of domestic violence, which is defined in statute 741.28 as acts like assault, battery, or sexual violence committed by a family or household member. The recorded communication can then be shared with law enforcement, an attorney, or a court specifically to prove an act of domestic violence, but it cannot be shared or distributed for any other purpose. This change aims to provide a tool for victims to gather evidence of abuse, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
