The law would require a safe exchange location to be somewhere like a sheriff’s office or a sheriff’s substation. The location would need to be somewhere well lit that is marked with a purple light.
“Also, a location like a parking lot that is monitored 24/7 with video cameras and with footage that has to be retained for a grand total of 45 days,” added Rudman.
Instead of needing a court order to use a safe exchange location. A parent could choose to do the exchange there if they don’t feel safe doing it elsewhere without facing a penalty from family court. Dr. Rudman says the proposed law has already received support from across the state. Including Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson.
“This will be a game changer. Beforehand you always wanted a witness there, so you have your sister come with you,” said Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson. “Now if this law passes, you’re going to have a witness. The camera.”“I know wholeheartedly that my sister would have used those resources,” said Carli.“She would want us to turn pain into power and make changes so no one has to go through what she went through,” added Carli. “I know that Cassie is elated up in heaven.
The Cassie Carli law also says that parents can use a safe exchange location in an adjacent county if it’s as close or closer than the original location. The Florida legislative session begins on Tuesday. If approved, the bill will go into effect on July 1st.
