This document is an Affidavit Regarding the Use of Coercion for Labor and Services issued by the State of Florida, effective July 1, 2024, under Section 787.06(13) of Florida Statutes. The affidavit is a mandatory document for nongovernmental entities executing, renewing, or extending contracts with governmental entities, requiring vendors to certify they will not engage in specific coercive labor practices.

The affidavit requires vendors to attest that they will not use or threaten physical force, unlawfully restrain or isolate individuals, use lending or credit methods to establish debt, destroy or confiscate personal documents, cause financial harm, entice persons by fraud or credit, or provide controlled substances for exploitation. By signing, the authorized vendor representative declares under penalty of perjury that these prohibited actions will not occur, and the document must be notarized to validate the vendor's commitment to ethical labor practices in conjunction with governmental contract opportunities.
