Florida’s new law allows armed volunteers to provide security at places of worship, taking effect on July 1, 2026.
The law exempts volunteers from professional licensure but requires them to hold a valid concealed weapon license and pass a background check.
Congregations can decide whether to organize security teams, ensuring they tailor security to their specific needs.
The legal use of force standards apply to volunteers under this law, requiring proper training and awareness of self-defense laws.
Bipartisan support for the law reflects a consensus on enhancing safety in faith communities without imposing excessive regulation.
