What SB 482 would do

In plain language.

Florida's AI Bill of Rights writes six baseline protections into state law. The Senate already passed it 35-2. The special session is the remaining window this year to finish the job.

These provisions reflect how Floridians actually use and encounter AI today — from kids with chatbots to political ads on the feed.

  1. I.Machine disclosure. AI systems interacting with people must disclose that they are not a person, with periodic reminders during conversation.
  2. II.Parental consent for minors. Companion chatbots may not interact with a minor without verifiable parental consent. Penalties up to $10,000 per child in violation.
  3. III.Human counselor in crisis. AI systems must escalate to a qualified human when a user indicates self-harm or crisis, and may not substitute for licensed counseling.
  4. IV.Face, voice, and likeness. A civil remedy when your name, image, or voice is used by an AI system without permission — including deepfakes of private citizens.
  5. V.Political AI ad disclosure. Any political ad generated or substantially modified by AI must disclose that fact on the face of the ad.
  6. VI.Meaningful enforcement. Civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation, with a private right of action for harmed Floridians and AG-led enforcement for systemic violations.
