SB524FL · 2026
Department of Law Enforcement
This bill updates several aspects of Florida’s law enforcement system. It lets the Department of Law Enforcement create rules to award medals recognizing law enforcement officers. It shifts the appointment of district medical examiners from the Governor to the Medical Examiners Commission and clarifies their terms and duties. The bill allows certain medical organizations to access autopsy reports for organ donation purposes and updates fingerprinting and background check procedures for those applying for specific licenses. It also requires the Department of Law Enforcement to process and share fingerprint and criminal history information with other state agencies.
