Administrative Speech Adjudication Without Due Process

This provision grants the Division binding authority to determine speech legality and impose sanctions (10.2) without establishing essential procedural safeguards. The Division—whose Director is presidentially appointed—can render final determinations on whether speech constitutes misinformation, disinformation, or hate speech before any judicial review occurs. The provision fails to specify notice and hearing requirements, evidentiary standards, or transparency obligations for the Division's internal rules (10.1). This creates a system where speech restrictions are initially imposed by an administrative body rather than an independent court, with judicial review available only after binding decisions are made (60). The lack of procedural protections, combined with the bill's broad definitions, creates significant risk of arbitrary enforcement and chilling effects on constitutionally protected expression.
