BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Florida League of Cities

Financial Disclosures for Elected Local Officers (Oppose)

CS/CS/HB 37 (Roach) and CS/CS/SB 774 (Brodeur) require all municipal mayors, city commissioners, and elected members of a municipal governing body to file an annual Full Disclosure of Financial Interests (Form 6) with the Florida Commission on Ethics. These individuals are currently required to file only a Limited Disclosure of Financial Interests (Form 1). CS/CS/HB 37 was amended to add the Form 6 requirement to members of the Commission on Ethics. CS/CS/SB 774 passed the Senate (35-5) and is awaiting action by the House. If this bill becomes law, the Form 6 requirement would go into effect for elected municipal officials on January 1, 2024.  (O'Hara)
