The bill establishes a new section, 468.227, in the Florida Statutes, which provides exemptions from public records and meetings requirements specifically for the Occupational Therapy Compact Commission. It stipulates that personal identifying information of occupational therapists and assistants, excluding their names, licensure status, or licensure numbers, is exempt from public disclosure unless authorized by the state that reported the information. Additionally, certain meetings or portions of meetings of the Commission discussing sensitive topics, such as noncompliance of member states, personnel matters, litigation, and trade secrets, are exempt from public meeting requirements. Recordings, minutes, and records generated during these exempt meetings are also protected from public records laws.

The bill includes provisions for future legislative review and repeal of these exemptions, with a sunset clause set for October 2, 2029, unless the exemptions are reenacted. It emphasizes the necessity of these exemptions to comply with the Occupational Therapist Licensure Compact, which requires confidentiality for certain discussions and information to ensure effective administration of the compact. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, HB 909, or similar bills in the same legislative session.
