FL H7021

Creates an electronic filing system for financial disclosures that the Commission on Ethics must procure and test by January 1, 2022, with minimum requirements including searchable filings, security protections, and verification receipts.

Requires all full and public disclosures to be filed electronically beginning January 1, 2022, and all statements of financial interests filed electronically beginning January 1, 2023.

Prohibits filers from including federal income tax returns, social security numbers, bank account numbers, and other sensitive personal information in filings, with commission liability protections and redaction procedures upon request.

Requires disclosure forms to be sent electronically via email rather than paper forms starting January 1, 2022 for disclosures and January 1, 2023 for statements, with delinquency notices sent weekly by email.

Establishes that written declarations under s. 92.525(2) with electronic signatures satisfy the swearing requirement for disclosures, and specifies that failure to monitor email accounts does not constitute unusual circumstances for late filing appeals.
