The proposed bill, titled the "Public Resource Election Neutrality Act," aims to prohibit state departments and agencies from using public resources to influence the outcome of statewide ballot initiatives during election periods. Specifically, it establishes a new section, 100.372, in the Florida Statutes, which outlines that from the last day of certification of a ballot initiative until the conclusion of the general election, state entities are barred from producing, disseminating, or funding public service announcements that could be interpreted as supporting or opposing such initiatives. Exceptions are made for announcements addressing immediate threats to public health, safety, or welfare, as well as routine governmental communications unrelated to ballot initiatives.

The bill also includes provisions for penalties and enforcement, stating that individuals in violation may face disciplinary actions, and state agencies found in violation could see reductions in future appropriations. Additionally, it mandates that all state departments and agencies maintain records of public service announcements produced or funded in the year leading up to a general election and make these records accessible to the public. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
