AI Summary
This bill repeals the Florida Election Campaign Financing Act, which previously provided public funding for campaigns of certain statewide candidates who agreed to expenditure limits. It also amends sections of Florida law to remove references to the repealed Act and the Election Campaign Financing Trust Fund. The bill allows candidates to dispose of any surplus campaign funds by returning them pro rata to contributors, donating them to charity, transferring them to their political party, or giving them to the state or a political subdivision. Additionally, the bill removes a requirement for the Division of Elections to conduct post-election audits of campaign accounts of candidates receiving public financing. The bill's effective date is contingent on the approval of a related constitutional amendment.
