The bill establishes the Florida State University Cybersecurity Protection Program, which aims to provide local governments and law enforcement agencies with access to cybersecurity programs and software developed by Florida State University. Under the new section 282.31855 of the Florida Statutes, all local governments are required to participate in the program and submit requests to the university for the use of these cybersecurity resources. The bill also prioritizes fiscally constrained counties for participation in the program, ensuring that those with limited financial resources receive assistance first.

Additionally, the bill authorizes Florida State University to apply for and accept federal funds or grants to support the program's initiatives. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026. This program is designed to enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of local governments in Florida, helping them to better protect against threats and ransomware incidents.
