The Senate Concurrent Resolution, introduced by Senator Smith, formally acknowledges the injustices inflicted upon individuals targeted by the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee from 1956 to 1965. The resolution highlights the committee's actions, which included surveillance, harassment, and intimidation of civil rights activists, particularly members of the NAACP and participants in desegregation efforts. It details the committee's aggressive tactics, such as public hearings that sought to discredit individuals based on their race or sexual orientation, and the damaging impact these actions had on the lives and careers of many Floridians.

In light of these historical injustices, the resolution offers a heartfelt apology to those whose lives, well-being, and livelihoods were adversely affected by the committee's activities. It emphasizes the need for recognition of the pain and suffering caused by the committee's unconstitutional methods, which not only targeted individuals but also contributed to a broader climate of fear and intolerance in Florida during that era. The resolution serves as a formal acknowledgment of the past wrongs and a commitment to remembering and addressing these injustices.
