On February 7, 2023, the “Victims of Reform School Abuse” House Bill 629 was filed in Florida. If the bill becomes a law, it would provide a mechanism for determining crime victim compensation eligibility for those who endured abuse while being detained at either the Dozier School or the Okeechobee School.

The act may be known and cited as the "Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys and Okeechobee School Abuse Victim Certification Act,” the bill states.
