TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida lawmakers have agreed to repeal the 35-year-old “Free Kill” law.
The law bars adult children and their parents from suing for wrongful death caused by medical malpractice.
The bill cleared the Senate Thursday night with a vote of 33-4.
An overwhelming share of state House lawmakers approved it late last month.
The bill will now head to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk for his signature.
