The bill amends Section 741.465 of the Florida Statutes to expand the protections offered by the Address Confidentiality Program for Victims of Domestic Violence to include victims of dating violence. It defines the term "address" and specifies that the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and social security numbers of participants in the program are exempt from public records requirements. The bill also allows for the retroactive application of this exemption and establishes that the information may only be disclosed under certain circumstances, such as to law enforcement for valid arrest warrants or by court order.

Additionally, the bill includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the need for enhanced protection for victims of dating violence to prevent potential harm from assailants. It outlines that the exemptions apply to records held by the Office of the Attorney General, the Department of State, and election supervisors, and it is subject to future legislative review and potential repeal by October 2, 2030. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, ensuring that the protections are in place as intended.
