FL H0929

Creates section 925.13, Florida Statutes, requiring electronic recording of custodial interrogations at places of detention for covered offenses (murder, manslaughter, and sexual battery).

Electronic recordings must include the entire interrogation process, including any required warnings, rights advisories, and rights waivers.

Provides eight exceptions to the recording requirement, including equipment malfunction, individual refusal, spontaneous statements, routine arrest processing, lack of knowledge of covered offense, safety concerns, and out-of-state interrogations.

Requires law enforcement officers to prepare written reports explaining reasons for failure to record interrogations conducted without electronic recording or outside places of detention.

Courts must consider failure to electronically record as a factor in admissibility determinations and must provide jury cautionary instructions upon defendant request; provides civil immunity for law enforcement agencies enforcing compliant rules.
