The in-your-face intimidation and aggressive "pain compliance" techniques that teenager Martin Lee Anderson suffered from boot camp guards before his death were outlawed Wednesday by state lawmakers, who voted to rename the facilities and demilitarize them to make them emphasize treatment rather than fear.

The Martin Lee Anderson Act bans the use of stun guns, pepper spray, pressure points, mechanical restraints and psychological intimidation unless a child is a threat to himself or others.

The act, proposed first by Miami Beach lawmaker Gus Barreiro, seeks to clone Florida's most successful boot camp, in Martin County, which stresses positive thinking, counseling and community service.

"It's sad a young man had to die for us to come to this kind of conclusion. We can say now, when we leave to go home, that we changed the mind-set of how we're going to deal with young people in the state of Florida, " said Sen. Tony Hill, a Jacksonville Democrat and leader of the state's black caucus.

The legislation, a part of the state budget, also boosts the new program by $32.6 million. Approved Wednesday by a joint House-Senate committee, the bill will likely pass both chambers easily, though some senators initially balked at making the changes and instead wanted to study boot camps.

Barreiro said no. The Republican representative proposed the changes to the boot camps, of which there are four in Florida, after Martin's death.

"A kid is dead. It's one death too many. There's nothing to study. Unfortunately, this all came too late for Martin, " Barreiro said. The boot camps have been under scrutiny since Jan. 5, when Martin, 14, died hours after he was punched, kneed and manhandled by a group of guards at a Panama City boot camp, where he had been sent as punishment for joyriding in his grandmother's car.

A videotape of the incident, made public after The Miami Herald and CNN sued under the state's public records law, caused an avalanche of outrage across the nation as viewers watched the teen get roughed up by eight men. The four sheriffs who run the remaining camps say many of the techniques seen in the tape - commonplace at the Panama City facility - were not permitted at their facilities.

The boy's death, together with the emotional public reaction, already has wrought significant changes.

Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen, who ran the boot camp, shuttered his program, saying the microscopic scrutiny of his camp had made it impossible to operate. And last week, Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Guy Tunnell resigned, several days after The Miami Herald reported he had written several cozy e-mails to McKeithen even as his agency was investigating McKeithen's boot camp. Tunnell also got in trouble for jokingly referring to civil rights leader Jesse Jackson as Jesse James and to U.S. Sen. Barack Obama as Osama bin Laden.

Martin's death is under investigation by Mark Ober, the Tampa state attorney named special prosecutor by Gov. Jeb Bush, as well as the FBI and federal prosecutors in Tallahassee. Ober is awaiting the results of a second autopsy performed on the teen.

KEY POINTS OF ACT

With the Panama City camp closed, lawmakers have diverted its money to the other camps and boosted bottom-line spending to $10.6 million. The Martin Lee Anderson Act also establishes a seven-member commission to independently review the Department of Juvenile Justice's programs. Juveniles would have an extensive physical exam and access to an abuse hot-line telephone number. The act also mandates more training for staff at the camps, which will now be called Sheriff's Training and Respect Academies.
