The Tyre Sampson Act is named for a teen who fell from the FreeFall ride at ICON park last March.
The legislation mandates regular testing and certification of rides in Florida.
It also requires ride operators to provide employees with safety training, post height, weight, and age restrictions outside of rides, and report any injuries or deaths on rides.
In a statement SlingShot CEO Ritchie Armstrong said the SlingShot ride on I-Drive has reopened but, "it is important to know that this ride is a totally different ride from the FreeFall, which has been disassembled and removed from this property entirely. The safety of our patrons continues to be our highest priority and that is why we were supportive of the Tyre Sampson Act being passed by the Florida Legislature this year."
The law will take effect on July 1st.
