A story slated to run on "Dateline NBC" about Rachel Hoffman has been pre-empted for coverage of Thursday's plane crash into the Hudson River.
Hoffman, a Clearwater resident, was fatally shot in May while acting as a confidential informant for Tallahassee police.
The death of Hoffman, 23, has led state lawmakers to craft a bill creating stricter standards for the use of young people as confidential informants. That bill, dubbed "Rachel's Law," will be discussed in this year's legislative session, which begins March 3.
The show is tentatively set to air Jan. 23.
