Florida H0491 allows faith-based activities in batterers' intervention programs but prohibits mandatory participation.
Florida H0491 amends the state statutes to specify that batterers' intervention programs may include faith-based activities as a supplemental option. However, participation in these activities cannot be required for program completion. This change aims to respect participants' religious preferences while ensuring that the core requirements of the intervention programs remain non-religious and mandatory. The act will take effect on July 1, 2026.
