MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A bill known as 'Miya's Law' has passed in the Florida Senate.

The law requires landlords of nontransient or transient apartments to require employees to undergo background screenings as a condition of employment.

Miya Marcano was a 19-year-old sophomore at Orlando's Valencia College and a graduate of Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines.

She disappeared in September, the night she was supposed to fly to South Florida to visit family.

Her suspected killer was a co-worker at her apartment complex who was interested in her romantically.

He was found dead a few days after she went missing from an apparent suicide.

Officials think he used a master key to enter her apartment.
