I saw the Jeb Bush press conference earlier in the day. In response to press questions, his subordinate (lady Dr. in assistance to the disabled) said that the Governor would have the power to take Terri Schaivo into protective custody. HOWEVER, this right to act depended on the passage of the bill that was just defeated. I did not understand Gov. Bush to have claimed any such power in the absence of that new law.

I did not hear them say that DCF action depended on passage of the Senate bill. I got the impression that it was not dependent on the Senate bill. But they cut in halfway through the conference and I may have missed it. Does anyone else have confirmation on this?

That was a protective custody question that I took to be different from the question about DCF.
