Florida Senate Bill 482, the “Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights,” passed the Senate but died in the House on 13 March 2026. The bill would have created a statewide framework for AI instructional tools used by educational entities — including definitions, parental notice and opt-out mechanisms, and read-only account access for parents — and would have applied to private schools. It also included consumer AI rights provisions such as parental consent for minors to interact with AI companion chatbots. The bill did not advance to law.
Senate Bill 1194, filed for the 2026 session, would require the Florida State Board of Education to adopt statewide standards and policies for the use of artificial intelligence in schools, with provisions for teacher training and metrics collection. As of May 2026, SB 1194 has not passed.
Separately, HB 1503/SB 1694 would require AI instruction within computer science coursework and mandate responsible AI application opportunities in general education. These bills remained in committee as of May 2026.
The Florida K-12 AI Task Force continues to develop voluntary AI literacy guidance. No binding statewide AI curriculum or training mandate has been enacted as of this date.
Who it affects: Florida public and private K-12 schools (proposed, not yet law).
What is notably missing: No legislation has been enacted requiring AI literacy instruction, teacher AI training, or dedicated curriculum funding in Florida. All current AI education activity remains voluntary guidance or pending legislation.
