In one paragraph

Not law. SB 562 would have banned using artificial intelligence, including with cameras, video recording or live-streaming devices, to detect firearms in public areas in Florida, making it a first-degree misdemeanor. School grounds and the places where a concealed-carry license does not authorize carrying were exempt. It was indefinitely postponed and withdrawn on May 3, 2025 and died in the Criminal Justice Committee.
