Florida Bill Would Require Bloggers Who Write About Governor to Register with State

A new bill being pushed in Florida would require bloggers who write about the state’s governor to register with the state.

The bill, drafted by Florida Sen Jason Brodeur (R – Lake Mary), would impose fines on bloggers who fail to register.

In the bill, Brodeur writes that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature” and receives or will receive payment for doing so must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions those officials.

If another blog post is added, the blogger would be required to submit monthly reports on the 10th of each month with the appropriate state office. They would not have to submit a report on months where they don’t produce content.

For each post, bloggers’ reports must disclose the amount of compensation received rounded to the nearest $10 value.

Fines would look like a $25 per day fine for each day the report is late, with a maximum per report (not per writer) of $2,500.
