The proposed bill, titled the Public Resource Election Neutrality Act, aims to regulate the use of state resources in relation to public service announcements (PSAs) during election periods, specifically concerning statewide ballot initiatives. It establishes a new section, 112.3262, in the Florida Statutes, which prohibits state agencies from producing, disseminating, or funding PSAs that could influence the outcome of elections from the time a ballot initiative is certified until the election concludes. The bill defines key terms such as "public service announcement," "state agency," and "statewide ballot initiative," and outlines exceptions for announcements addressing immediate public health or safety threats and routine governmental communications unrelated to ballot initiatives.

The legislation also includes provisions for penalties and enforcement, stating that individuals who violate these regulations may face suspension, removal, or disciplinary action. Additionally, the Legislature is authorized to reduce future appropriations to any state agency found in violation. The Commission on Ethics is granted the authority to investigate complaints regarding violations, and individuals or entities affected by such violations can file complaints or seek injunctive relief. Furthermore, state agencies are required to maintain records of PSAs produced or funded in the year leading up to a general election and make these records available for public inspection.
