AI Summary

  • Enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" into Florida law, allowing Florida to join an interstate compact with other states adopting this agreement.

  • Requires member states to conduct statewide popular elections for President and Vice President, with presidential electors appointed based on the national popular vote winner rather than state-by-state results.

  • Agreement takes effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes (270 votes) have enacted it in substantially the same form.

  • Allows member states to withdraw from the agreement at any time, except withdrawals within 6 months of a President's term end become effective only after the next President or Vice President is qualified.

  • Terminates the agreement if the Electoral College is abolished, and requires state governors to notify other states when the agreement is enacted, takes effect, or when a state withdraws.
