TAMPA, Fla. – A re-filed version of "Jordan's Law" passed in the Florida House on Thursday.

  • Florida House votes on Jordan's Law
  • Bill first proposed after 2-year-old Jordan Belliveau's death
  • The House bill differs from the Senate bill
  • MORE stories on Jordan Belliveau

The bill was first proposed after the September 2018 death of 2-year-old Jordan Belliveau, reportedly at the hands of his own mother Charisse Stinson. She is set to go on trial for his death in August 2020.

The refiled bill passed unanimously. The key now is to get it to pass in the Senate. If that doesn't happen, it won't have a chance to become law.

Rep. Chris Latvala sponsored the House bill. The language of the bill centers around some of the failings reported after the death of Jordan Bellieveau.

There are actually two bills for Jordan’s Law (JordansLaw.com). One is in the Florida House and the other one is in Florida Senate. Both are meant to help prevent deaths like his from happening again — but there’s a stark difference between the two proposals for Jordan’s Law.

There has been a lot of public support of the bill. Thousands of signatures have been gathered.
