FL S1126

Amends Florida Statutes section 255.043 to require art acquisitions in state buildings be produced exclusively by Florida artists or craftspersons, removing language that previously allowed purchases from non-Florida artists.

Maintains existing requirement that state building construction appropriations include up to 0.5 percent of total construction costs (not exceeding $100,000) for art acquisition.

Requires all acquired artworks to be displayed in public areas within building interiors or on grounds/exteriors, prohibiting display in private offices or areas with limited public access.

Effective date is July 1, 2011.
