R-01Record entry
Drowning-prevention education enacted through a related Senate bill
- What changed
- Chapter 2026-38 requires state drowning-prevention education materials and distribution through specified postpartum-care settings, effective July 1, 2026.
- Decision authority
- The Florida Legislature passed SB 428 and the Governor approved it.
- Eskamani contribution
- Eskamani and Kendall sponsored the similar House measure, CS/HB 503, which passed the House 108-1. The enacted vehicle was SB 428, sponsored in the Senate by Yarborough.
- Implementation
- Enacted as Chapter 2026-38 with a July 1, 2026 effective date; agency implementation is outside this record's current verification scope.
- People affected
- New parents and caregivers receiving covered postpartum education; a verified statewide count is not stated in the cited bill pages.
- Cost
- The cited public bill pages do not provide a final implemented cost in a form suitable for this ledger.
- Verification
- The Florida House page links HB 503 to the enacted similar bill, and the Florida Senate page records unanimous chamber votes, gubernatorial approval, and Chapter 2026-38.
- Counterfactual limit
- The record verifies Eskamani's House sponsorship and the related enacted policy; it does not establish that enactment depended on her participation or that HB 503 itself became law.
Evidence supporting the finding
Official House and Senate histories connect the House proposal to the enacted Senate vehicle and document final enactment.
Evidence that qualifies the finding
The enacted bill had a different Senate sponsor, and the official record does not allocate causal credit among participants.
