A federal judge has temporarily blocked Florida's 2023 law requiring municipal elected officials to disclose detailed personal financial information, stating it likely violated the First Amendment. U.S. District Judge Melissa Damian issued a preliminary injunction, allowing municipal officials to challenge the law. The legislation, which led to over 125 municipal elected officials resigning, mandated mayors and other officials to file annual reports detailing their net worth, incomes, and assets.
