Cybersecurity Standards and Liability

Summary

The bill would stop Florida local governments from forcing vendors to meet stricter cybersecurity rules than the state requires, and it would give liability protection to local governments, covered entities, and third‑party agents that substantially follow listed security frameworks. It defines who counts as a vendor, covered entity, and third‑party agent, and sets out a presumption against liability in class actions if they comply. The goal is to encourage adoption of recognized security standards while limiting lawsuits.
