More time to prosecute child-reporting violations

Beginning July 1, 2026, Florida changes when the time limit starts for prosecuting child-reporting violations under Florida Statutes section 39.201. The clock starts only when law enforcement or another government agency learns of the violation. The institution where the violation occurred does not count as that agency. This rule applies only to offenses not already barred from prosecution on or before July 1, 2026.
