Florida Courts AI Filing Rules Tracker

The complete, source-cited history of artificial-intelligence rules in Florida's state courts — statewide rule amendments, every circuit administrative order, the rescissions, and the judge-level instructions that remain posted. Verified against official sources; each entry links its rule card with citation, confidence, and last-verified date.

The statewide timeline

  1. 2024 — Bar guidance era. The Florida Supreme Court amends comments to Bar Rules 4-1.1, 4-1.6, 4-5.1 and 4-5.3 (SC2024-0032), warning lawyers to use generative AI with care.
  2. Early 2026 — the circuit patchwork. Several circuits adopt their own AI disclosure/certification mandates by administrative order (11th: AO 26-04; 17th; 18th: AO 26-10; 5th: AO A-2026-13 with a scripted certification block and tool-identification duty; 9th: fourteen judge-level mandates; 20th: judge-level requirements), creating inconsistent obligations across the state.
  3. May 28, 2026 — SC2026-0673. The Supreme Court amends Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.515(d)(2): every signer now represents that the legal authorities cited "exist and are accurately cited," with sanctions available for violations. Comment period ran to August 11, 2026.
  4. June 15, 2026, 12:01 a.m. — AOSC26-12 preemption. The Chief Justice orders that courts "may not impose such requirements – whether through local administrative orders, court policies, judicial practices and procedures, or other means." Most circuit mandates fall: the 11th's chain (26-04 → 26-15) ends with rescission AO 1-26-18 effective at the exact preemption moment; the 18th rescinds AO 26-10 via AO 26-24 (June 1); the 5th supersedes its A-2026-13 mandate with A-2026-13-A at 12:01 a.m. on June 15 — the amended title drops the words "Disclosure of AI Use, The Certification of AI Generated Information," and §2.D disclaims any such requirement. Broward — whose Amendment 2 was issued May 19 "in coordination with" the 11th's 26-15 — enters no rescission of its own.
  5. Today — the holdouts. Broward's circuit-wide AO 2026-03-GEN (Amendment 2) remains posted with no rescission — the largest surviving mandate in the state — alongside a small number of judge-level instructions elsewhere. BenchPath tracks each verbatim below with a [PREEMPTED] banner rather than deleting the history.
