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 which they are a citizen in addition to being a citizen of the United States. This new requirement is inserted as item 6 in both sections, enhancing the transparency of candidates' backgrounds.

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 ensure that voters are informed about the citizenship status of candidates, potentially impacting their eligibility and the public's perception of their commitment to the United States.
