The bill establishes new regulations regarding political activities at public institutions of higher education in Florida. It creates two new sections in the Florida Statutes: Section 106.041 and Section 1004.0972. These sections define "public institution of higher education" and mandate that such institutions promote discussions and debates during election cycles while ensuring equitable access for all candidates. The bill requires prior approval for various political entities, including candidates and political parties, before engaging in political activities on campus. It also prohibits candidates from using institutional resources for campaign-related activities and outlines the criteria for political discussions and events.

Additionally, the bill mandates that public institutions develop policies governing political activities, which must include provisions for voter registration drives, restrictions on partisan campaigning, and the use of institutional resources. Institutions are required to provide oversight for political events and ensure compliance with state and federal laws. The State Board of Education and the Board of Governors are tasked with monitoring compliance and adopting necessary regulations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
