This bill amends sections 99.061 and 105.031 of the Florida Statutes to require candidates seeking nomination and election to various offices, including federal, state, county, and judicial positions, to disclose any dual citizenship. 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, 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 running for public office in Florida.
