The bill amends section 119.071 of the Florida Statutes to create an exemption from public records requirements for the personal identifying and location information of certain current or former personnel of the Agency for Health Care Administration. This includes protections for names, home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs of these personnel, as well as similar information for their spouses and children. The bill also specifies that this exemption will be subject to future legislative review and repeal, with a review date set for October 2, 2030, and it will be applied retroactively.

The legislation emphasizes the necessity of these exemptions by highlighting the potential risks to the safety of agency personnel and their families if such personal information were to be disclosed. The Legislature argues that the dangers associated with releasing this information outweigh any public interest in its availability. The act is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the privacy and security of individuals in sensitive roles within the Agency for Health Care Administration.
