Florida
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Florida has no comprehensive enacted AI-behavior statute as of mid-2026. The most significant attempt, SB 482 (Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights), passed the Florida Senate 35–2 in March 2026 but died in the House without a vote. Florida does have two enacted AI-specific disclosure laws: HB 919 (2024) requires prominent AI-disclosure disclaimers on political advertisements that use generative AI to depict real people, and HB 757 (2025) criminalizes and creates civil liability for nonconsensual AI-generated intimate imagery. The Florida Digital Bill of Rights (SB 262, 2023) grants consumers a limited right to opt out of solely automated profiling for significant decisions, but applies only to a narrow class of large online-platform businesses. In the absence of AI-specific bot-disclosure or auto-decision law, the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA, Fla. Stat. § 501.204) and federal FTC Act § 5 serve as the background consumer-protection backstop against deceptive AI personas. A study bill (SB 146, 2026) directing the Florida Digital Service to study state-agency AI procurement remains in committee.
