The bill amends section 119.071 of the Florida Statutes to create specific exemptions from public records requirements for personal information related to current congressional members, public officers, and their families. It introduces new definitions for "home addresses" and "telephone numbers," which include various forms of contact information. The bill exempts partial home addresses and telephone numbers of these officials, as well as the names, home addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of birth of their minor children, along with the names and locations of schools and daycare facilities attended by those children.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a framework for future legislative review and potential repeal of these exemptions, while also outlining methods for maintaining the confidentiality of the exempted information. It includes a statement of public necessity and allows for retroactive application of the exemptions, emphasizing the need to protect the personal information of public officials to ensure their safety and encourage public service. The exemptions will be subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will automatically expire on October 2, 2030, unless reenacted by the Legislature. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
