As the 2024 Florida Legislative Session comes to an end, Attorney General Ashley Moody is praising lawmakers for passing several measures to enhance public safety. Attorney General Moody worked with lawmakers on several public safety bills that are now headed to the Governor’s desk. The bills seek to protect children on social media, permanently outlaw gas station heroin, stop organized retail theft, solve cold cases, protect first responders and much more.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “We fought hard to strengthen public safety laws, protect children and solve cold cases this legislative session. I want to thank Speaker Renner, President Passidomo, all of the bill sponsors and every member who voted in favor of these measures to strengthen public safety and help us build a Stronger, Safer Florida.”

HB 3: Attorney General Moody supported legislation to protect children on social media. HB 3 prevents children under the age of 13 from utilizing addictive social media platforms and allows 14-year-olds and 15-year-olds to use such platforms with parental consent. Rep. Chase Tramont, Rep. Toby Overdorf, Rep. Tyler Sirois, Rep. Fiona McFarland and Rep. Michele Rayner sponsored the legislation.
