Nearly seven years ago, through a legislative change, Florida joined the super majority of states and the federal judiciary in adopting the Daubert standard, replacing Frye, regarding the admission of expert testimony. The Daubert era was short-lived as the Florida Supreme Court held the legislative amendments were an unconstitutional procedural change to the Rules of Evidence, and reaffirmed Frye as the appropriate standard in Florida.

On May 23, 2019, the Florida Supreme Court, after a change in its membership, sua sponte, reversed itself and adopted the Daubert standard. Six months later, the fears of Daubert opponents have so far proven to not be true.
