This bill amends Florida Statutes to expand existing exemptions from public records and meetings requirements concerning 911, E911, and public safety radio communication systems to include Next Generation 911 (NG911) systems. Specifically, it modifies section 119.071 to exempt building plans, blueprints, schematic drawings, and geographical maps that depict the infrastructure of these communication systems from public inspection and copying. The bill also extends the date for future legislative review and repeal of these exemptions to October 2, 2030.
Additionally, the bill amends section 286.0113 to provide similar exemptions for portions of meetings that would reveal sensitive information about the infrastructure of 911, E911, and NG911 systems. It ensures that any discussions or documents related to these systems remain confidential to protect public safety and security. The legislation includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding this critical infrastructure from potential threats.
