This bill amends sections 99.061 and 105.031 of the Florida Statutes to require candidates for federal, state, county, multicounty, district, or judicial office, as well as district school board positions, to disclose any dual citizenship when qualifying for election. Specifically, candidates must provide a statement indicating any other country of citizenship in addition to being a citizen of the United States. This new requirement is added as item 6 in both sections, which outlines the necessary items for candidate qualification.

Additionally, the bill reenacts section 99.012(1)(b) to incorporate these amendments into the definition of "qualifying." The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026. The changes aim to enhance transparency regarding the citizenship status of candidates seeking public office in Florida.
