Floridas legislatur (engelska: Florida Legislature) är den lagstiftande församlingen i den amerikanska delstaten Florida.
Senaten
Floridas senat (engelska: Florida Senate) består av 40 senatorer som representerar 40 distrikt valda i majoritetsval.[1] Mandatperioden i senaten är fyra år.[1]
Hälften av senaten väljs vartannat år i samband med valen till representanthuset. För att vara valbar till endera kammare krävs 21 års ålder samt att den som väljs bor inom distriktet samt har bott i delstaten under två år.[2]
Representanthuset
Floridas representanthus (engelska: Florida House of Representatives) består av 120 ledamöter som representerar 120 distrikt valda i majoritetsval.[1] Mandatperioden i representanthuset är två år.[1]
Byggnaderna
Florida State Capitol består av två byggnader, båda belägna bredvid varandra i centrala Tallahassee. Den äldre byggnaden (benämnd som "Historic Capitol" eller "The Old Capitol") uppfördes 1845. Den äldre byggnaden var rivningshotad när den nyare byggnaden ("New Capitol") uppfördes på 1970-talet, men det beslutades efter protester och medborgarinitiativ att båda byggnaderna skulle existera sida vid sida.[3]

This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, and municipal government agencies) of the U.S. state of Florida. It is a public record that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.
Public records are works "made or received in connection with the official business of any public body, officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf, [which includes the work of] the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and each agency or department created thereunder; counties, municipalities, and districts; and each constitutional officer, board, and commission, or entity created pursuant to [Florida] law or [its] Constitution" (Florida Constitution, §24) such as a work made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any state, county, district, or other unit of government created or established by law of the State of Florida (definition of public work found in Chapter 119.011(12), Florida Statutes).
Florida's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright (as well as trademarks) and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted without clear evidence to the contrary:
- Florida Department of Transportation – §334.049(1)(a), Florida Statutes (2018)
- Florida Department of State – §286.031, Florida Statutes (2018)
- Florida Lottery – §24.105(10), Florida Statutes (2018)
- Space Florida – §331.305(4), Florida Statutes (2018)
- Water management districts – §373.608(1), Florida Statutes (2018)
- Florida Department of Citrus – §601.101, Florida Statutes (2018)
- Florida state universities and state colleges – §1004.23(1) and §1004.726(1), Florida Statutes (2018)
Works by defunct state agencies may be copyrighted if these rights were transferred to a new or different agency (note that legislation transferring such right may not have been codified into Florida Statutes). For example, copyright in works by the Florida Space Authority may have been transferred to Space Florida. State and municipal government agencies may claim copyright for software created by the agency (§ 119.084, F.S. 2018).
In case law, Microdecisions, Inc. v. Skinner—889 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (Findlaw)—held that the Collier County Property Appraiser could not require commercial users to enter into a licensing agreement, holding that "[the agency] has no authority to assert copyright protection in the GIS maps, which are public records."
Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise.
