Florida Advanced Technology Act (Ch. 2024-118 / SB 1680) — Government Technology Modernization Council: AI Compliance Requirements

Florida enacted Chapter 2024-118 (CS/CS/SB 1680, "Advanced Technology"), effective July 1, 2024. Verified via direct primary-source read of the enrolled bill text this cycle: it creates the Government Technology Modernization Council, an ADVISORY council within the Department of Management Services (DMS) that studies AI/data modernization, assesses AI-ethics reform needs, evaluates AI safety/security standards (including recommending — not mandating — disclosure of digital provenance for generative-AI images/audio), and reports annually to the Governor and Legislature by December 31. It separately criminalizes knowing possession, viewing, or creation of AI-generated child sexual abuse material (3rd-degree felony). The companion House bill, HB 1459, died (laid on table 2024-03-05) and never became law — it did NOT create binding vendor documentation, bias-audit, or human-in-the-loop requirements for state AI contractors, contrary to earlier drafts of this registry entry. No Florida statute currently imposes a general AI-vendor-compliance mandate on businesses selling AI to Florida government agencies (verified this cycle: Fla. Stat. § 501.174, sometimes cited for such a mandate, does not exist in the official Florida Statutes database as of this check). The "Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights" proposal (SB 482, 2026 session) DIED in House Messages on 2026-03-13 (Cycle 21, 2026-08-22: corrected a cross-entry staleness — the sibling `florida_no_ai_law` entry had already established this death via Cycle 9, but this entry's own text had not been updated to match and still called it "pending" months later) — it is not law. ROUND 504 (2026-08-25) CORRECTION AND UPDATE, verified this cycle on flsenate.gov bill records: the words "during a special session Gov. DeSantis called specifically for it" previously sat on the 2026-03-13 date and were WRONG — CS/SB 482 passed the Senate 35-2 on 2026-03-04 and died in House Messages on 2026-03-13 at the close of the REGULAR 2026 session. The special session came AFTERWARDS, and its refiled vehicle, SB 2D ("Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights," Sen. Brodeur, filed 2026-04-24, intended effective date 2026-07-01), passed the Senate 37-1 on 2026-04-28 and then DIED on 2026-04-29 in the House Information Technology Budget & Policy Subcommittee — the House Speaker having said the chamber would not take it up because AI policy belongs at the federal level. Florida therefore rejected the same AI Bill of Rights TWICE in 2026; neither vehicle is law and no live path exists as of 2026-08-25. SCOPE POINTER (this entry is government-facing by name and content): Florida's enacted PRIVATE-sector AI and AI-adjacent duties — HB 919 political-ad disclaimers (§ 106.145), SB 1180 and Brooke's Law (§ 836.13, incl. the covered-platform 48-hour removal duty at § 836.13(6)), the Florida Digital Bill of Rights profiling/assessment/biometric duties (§§ 501.705, 501.713, 501.715, 501.72), § 540.08 likeness-in-advertising, and SB 484/ch. 2026-65 data-center tariffs — are modelled in the sibling `florida_no_ai_law` entry, not here.
