The bill amends Section 379.1026 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to the public records exemption for site-specific location information of endangered and threatened species. The key change in this bill is the removal of the scheduled repeal of the exemption, which previously stated that the exemption would be subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and would be repealed on October 2, 2025, unless reviewed and saved by the Legislature.

With this amendment, the site-specific location information concerning endangered and threatened species will continue to be exempt from public records requirements without the risk of automatic repeal. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
