Florida has separately enacted legislation targeting AI-generated deepfake intimate imagery (HB 919, 2024), AI use in political advertising (HB 919 amendments, 2024), and explicit consent for biometric data collection. The 2025 session also produced legislation requiring disclosures for AI-generated content in political campaign communications. Florida AI regulation is materially shaped by Attorney General enforcement priorities and the state's consumer protection authority under Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Florida's regulatory posture in 2026 is selective rather than comprehensive: large enterprises face FDBR obligations, deepfake content faces criminal and civil exposure, and political advertising faces transparency requirements, but smaller businesses are largely outside the comprehensive consumer privacy regime that captures more SMBs in California, Texas, or Colorado. The FDBR's profiling opt-out, sensitive data consent, and impact assessment requirements do reach AI deployments, but the $1 billion revenue threshold means most Florida AI exposure is concentrated at large enterprises. The AG has signaled active interest in AI-related consumer protection enforcement, and pending legislation could materially expand the Florida AI regulatory landscape in the 2026 session, including bills modeled on Colorado's deployer-developer framework. By [Stefan Efros](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanefros-cyberdefense/), CEO & Founder, EFROS Updated · September 11, 2026 ## Enacted Florida AI laws ### Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR) in force **Citation** Fla. Stat. § 501.71 et seq. **Effective date** 2024-07-01 Key provisions Consumer rights of access, deletion, correction, portability, opt-out of profiling and sale; sensitive data consent; data protection impact assessments; AG enforcement; applies to businesses with $1B+ global gross revenue and significant Florida operations. ### Florida HB 919 (Deepfake / political AI) in force **Citation** Fla. Stat. § 836.13 **Effective date** 2024-07-01 Key provisions Criminal liability for AI-generated deepfake intimate imagery; political campaign AI content disclosure requirements; civil cause of action. ## Pending Florida AI legislation ### Florida AI Accountability Act drafts **Status** Various drafts in 2025-2026 sessions **Expected enactment** Possible 2026-2027 enactment Multiple bills have been introduced that would expand Florida AI regulation beyond the current $1B revenue threshold and add deployer-developer obligations. None has yet been enacted; active legislative interest. ### Florida AI employment legislation **Status** Discussion stage **Expected enactment** Possible 2026 introduction Following Illinois HB 3773 model, several Florida legislators have signaled interest in AI-in-employment disclosure requirements. ## Sector overlays in Florida Sector-specific frameworks layer on top of state AI laws and frequently impose stricter or earlier-binding obligations. These are the sectors most exposed in Florida. Large enterprises FDBR is the binding constraint at the $1B+ revenue threshold. AI processing of Florida consumer data triggers profiling opt-out, DPIA, and sensitive data consent requirements. Political campaigns HB 919 amendments require disclosure of AI-generated political advertising content; active AG enforcement interest. Platforms and content hosts Deepfake intimate imagery exposure under HB 919; build notice-and-takedown protocols. SMB and mid-market Largely outside FDBR; AG enforcement under FDUTPA remains the principal AI exposure for sub-threshold businesses. ## Compliance checklist for Florida Practical operational checklist for organizations subject to Florida AI laws. Items are ordered by typical sequence of implementation, not by importance: most steps depend on the inventory work in the first item. - 1 ### Confirm FDBR applicability for your Florida operations $1B+ global gross revenue with significant Florida operations, narrower than most state privacy laws. - 2 ### If FDBR applies, build profiling opt-out workflows Profiling opt-out covers AI-driven decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects. - 3 ### Conduct DPIAs for high-risk AI processing under FDBR Required for sensitive data processing and high-risk profiling. - 4 ### Implement HB 919 deepfake response protocols for platforms AI-generated intimate imagery of Florida residents creates criminal and civil exposure. - 5 ### Disclose AI use in political advertising content Required by HB 919 amendments; AG has signaled enforcement interest. - 6 ### Document AI use disclosures to avoid FDUTPA claims Even sub-FDBR-threshold businesses face AG enforcement under FDUTPA for unfair or deceptive AI practices. - 7 ### Monitor 2026 Florida AI accountability legislation Multiple drafts; structure may follow Colorado deployer-developer model. ## How EFROS helps Florida businesses comply EFROS operates Florida AI compliance as a tiered program: FDBR full compliance for $1B+ enterprise clients, FDUTPA-aware AI disclosure practices for sub-threshold businesses, HB 919 deepfake response for platform clients, and political AI disclosure for campaign work. We monitor 2026 Florida AI Accountability Act drafts for clients planning for expanded exposure.
