The bill establishes February 1 through February 7 as "Florida Speech and Debate Week," aimed at recognizing the value of competitive speech and debate in education and civic engagement. It outlines the purposes of this observance, which include honoring educators and inspiring student participation in debate. Public and charter schools, state agencies, and other entities are authorized to observe this week.

Additionally, the bill creates the Florida Debate Initiative, Inc. (FDI) as a nonprofit organization to support the Florida Civics and Debate Initiative (FCDI) within the Department of Education. The FDI will manage and expand civics, speech, and debate programs, provide training for coaches and students, and establish partnerships with various organizations. It is also tasked with reporting on student participation and program outcomes annually. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
