FL S0086

Creates section 827.10 establishing that a caregiver who willfully or through culpable negligence fails to make contact with or verify the whereabouts of a child 12 years old or younger for 48 hours and fails to immediately report the child as missing commits a second-degree felony if the child suffers great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement, or a third-degree felony otherwise.

Creates section 827.11 requiring caregivers to report a child's death to law enforcement within 2 hours of learning about it, or report the location of a child's corpse within 1 hour of learning the location, when the death falls under specified categories in section 406.11(1)(a); violation is a second-degree felony.

Amends section 837.055 to make it a second-degree felony (instead of a first-degree misdemeanor) when a caregiver knowingly and willfully gives false information to law enforcement during a missing person or felony investigation involving a minor child in their care with intent to mislead or impede the investigation.

Names the act "Caylee's Law."

Takes effect July 1, 2012.
