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 in the Florida Statutes, Section 100.372, 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 these 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 acting in their official capacity who violate this section may face disciplinary actions, and state agencies found in violation could see their future appropriations reduced. Additionally, the Florida Commission on Ethics is empowered to investigate complaints regarding violations, and all state departments and agencies are required to maintain and publicly disclose records of public service announcements produced or funded in the year leading up to a general election. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
