In one paragraph

Not law: died in committee. Florida's SB 972 (2024) would have created a nine-member Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council in the Department of Management Services, required each state agency to inventory its automated decision systems by July 1, 2025, and barred counties, municipalities and political subdivisions from regulating private or public use of AI. It died March 8, 2024. None of it became law through companion CS/CS/SB 1680 (Ch. 2024-118), which instead created a different advisory body, the Government Technology Modernization Council.

What it means for business

None: the bill died and creates no duties; it would have applied to state agencies and preempted local regulation of AI.

Key provisions

  1. Would have created s. 282.32: an advisory council of 2 senators, 2 representatives and 5 Governor appointees to study AI in state government, meeting monthly and reporting quarterly
  2. Would have required each state agency, with appropriated money, to inventory automated decision systems it develops, uses or procures (name, vendor, capabilities, data, bias testing, cost) and report by July 1, 2025 (s. 282.321)
  3. Would have required the Department of Management Services to adopt a rule on the report's form by January 1, 2025

  5. Companion CS/CS/SB 1680 (Ch. 2024-118, effective July 1, 2024) did not enact this council, the agency inventory or the local preemption; its Government Technology Modernization Council (s. 282.802) must, among other duties, assess how automated decision systems affect constitutional and legal rights
  6. Filed December 15, 2023; died in Governmental Oversight and Accountability on March 8, 2024; would have taken effect July 1, 2024
