The bill amends sections 112.3148 and 112.3149 of the Florida Statutes to establish clearer reporting requirements for individuals and procurement employees regarding the receipt of gifts and honoraria. Specifically, it mandates that all annual reports detailing gifts valued over $100 must be filed with the Commission on Ethics by July 1 of each year. The amendments also clarify that the annual statements of honorarium expenses must be submitted by the same deadline, ensuring consistency in reporting timelines.

Additionally, the bill removes previous language that required reporting individuals to file their annual reports alongside their financial disclosure statements, instead specifying that these reports should be filed directly with the Commission on Ethics. This change aims to streamline the reporting process and enhance transparency regarding the receipt of gifts and honoraria by public officials. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
