FL S1228

Creates the "Survivor Safety Act" establishing a rebuttable presumption that domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, or repeat violence survivors who use force against their documented abuser acted with reasonable fear of imminent death or great bodily harm

Requires survivors to demonstrate a documented history of abuse through protective injunctions, police reports, arrest records, convictions, medical records, or domestic violence center records to qualify for the presumption

Mandates the Department of Law Enforcement develop trauma-informed training for law enforcement officers, state attorneys, and judges handling domestic violence cases, with annual compliance reports due starting December 1, 2027

Establishes a Survivor Self-Defense Case Review Panel under the Florida Commission on Offender Review to evaluate convictions where evidence of domestic violence or coercive control may have affected self-defense claims

The panel may recommend sentence reductions, conditional release, or support for postconviction relief motions for incarcerated individuals who present documented evidence of prior abuse as victims
