The bill titled "Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act" aims to officially recognize the territories of Judea and Samaria, which were annexed by Israel from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War, by prohibiting the use of the term "West Bank" in official government materials. It establishes a new section in the Florida Statutes, Section 1.016, which outlines the legislative intent to refer to these territories by their historical names, with the southern area designated as "Judea" and the northern area as "Samaria." The bill defines "official government material" and "state agency," and it prohibits state agencies from using the term "West Bank" in any official documents or materials.

Additionally, the bill allows for an exception where the head of a state agency can waive this prohibition if deemed in the best interest of the state, provided that a written explanation is submitted to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House within 30 days. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
