Excerpt:

TALLAHASSEE --

A bill inspired by Caylee Anthony's death is moving in the Florida House after being changed to match the Senate's version.

The bill (HB 37) was unanimously approved Tuesday by the House Justice Appropriations Subcommittee, but no longer sets reporting deadlines for missing or deceased children.

Police said that could result in unintended consequences.

Instead, it increases the maximum from a year in jail to five years in prison for knowingly making a false statement to police about a missing child.

The bill is also no longer called "Caylee's Law."
