The proposed bill aims to enhance the privacy and security of certain public servants in Florida by allowing them to prevent the disclosure of their personal information by data brokers. It establishes a new section, 111.101, in the Florida Statutes, which defines key terms and outlines the rights of "covered persons," including law enforcement officers, judges, and their families, to submit written notices to data brokers to cease the disclosure of their protected information. The bill prohibits data brokers from releasing this information after receiving such notice and provides for civil actions against data brokers who fail to comply, with a standard of ordinary negligence applied in these cases.

Additionally, the bill specifies the types of personal information considered protected, such as home addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers. It also outlines the enforcement mechanisms, including potential damages for violations, which can include actual or liquidated damages, punitive damages for willful disregard, and reasonable attorney fees. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting public servants from threats and violence, reflecting legislative findings on the rising risks they face due to the accessibility of their personal information. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
