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, elected members of a municipal governing body, and members of the state Commission on Ethics 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/SB 774 passed the Senate (35-5) and the House (113-2) and is awaiting action by the Governor. If this bill becomes law, the Form 6 requirement would go into effect for elected municipal officials on January 1, 2024.  (O'Hara)
