In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.515
The Florida Supreme Court amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) on its own motion to require that every signer of a court filing certify that 'the legal authorities identified exist and are accurately cited.' Courts are expressly authorized to impose sanctions — including reprimand, contempt, striking of the document, dismissal, costs, and attorneys' fees — for filings that violate this representation. The amendment responds directly to AI-generated hallucinated citations and takes effect June 15, 2026.
