The bill establishes new regulations regarding the provenance of digital content in Florida, particularly focusing on content related to elections and the use of artificial intelligence. It amends section 106.145 of the Florida Statutes to define "provenance data" and mandates that any online content concerning elections must include this data. Additionally, it creates a pilot program within the Division of Emergency Management aimed at enhancing the security and authenticity of digital content used in emergency operations, requiring annual reports on the program's effectiveness.

Furthermore, the bill introduces section 501.9741, which outlines requirements for providers of generative artificial intelligence tools to include provenance data with synthetic content and to make application tools and provenance readers available to the public. Social media platforms are also required to retain and provide access to provenance data for content posted on their sites. Capture devices sold in Florida must allow for the inclusion of provenance data, and manufacturers must ensure compatibility with third-party applications. Violations of these provisions are classified as unfair or deceptive acts. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
