This bill establishes new regulations regarding the provenance of digital content in Florida. It amends section 106.145 of the Florida Statutes to define "provenance data" and mandates that any content related to elections or featuring candidates must include this data. The bill also creates a digital content provenance pilot program within the Division of Emergency Management, aimed at enhancing the security and authenticity of digital content used in emergency operations. The division is required to adopt rules for the program and submit an annual report to the Legislature, with a review set for June 30, 2030.

Additionally, the bill introduces section 501.9741, which outlines requirements for including provenance data on synthetic content created by generative artificial intelligence tools. It mandates that providers of such tools make application tools and provenance readers publicly available, and requires social media platforms to retain and display provenance data for digital content. Capture devices sold in Florida must also allow for the inclusion of provenance data, with manufacturers responsible for ensuring compatibility with third-party applications. Violations of these provisions are classified as unfair or deceptive acts. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
