Financial Disclosures up Tuesday on the Senate Floor
Overview
CS/CS/SB 774 (Brodeur) would 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).

The League is seeking an amendment to the bill that would apply this requirement to new terms of office that begin after January 1, 2024 for elected municipal officials. 

In Florida, county commissioners, county constitutional officers, state lawmakers and other state officials are currently required to file Form 6.

CS/CS/SB 774 will be considered by the full Senate on Tuesday, April 11 at 2:00 pm (EST).
Actions Needed:
  1. If you have concerns with this bill, as a city official, it is imperative you contact your Senator and share why you oppose this bill.
  2. Support FLC’s ask to not change the disclosure requirements for municipal officials mid-term.
