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 "address" to encompass residential, school, and work addresses as specified in the program application. The bill establishes that the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and social security numbers of participants in this program are exempt from public records requirements, thereby enhancing their privacy and safety. The exemption applies retroactively and is subject to future legislative review and potential repeal.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the necessity of protecting the personal information of victims of dating violence, asserting that public disclosure could jeopardize their safety. It specifies that the exemptions also apply to records held by the Office of the Attorney General, the Department of State, and election supervisors, ensuring that participants can vote without compromising their security. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, indicating a coordinated effort to bolster protections for vulnerable individuals in Florida.
