The bill amends section 741.29 of the Florida Statutes to establish a confidentiality exemption for lethality assessment forms that contain victims' information and responses. Specifically, it states that these forms, completed on or after January 1, 2025, are confidential and exempt from public records requirements under s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Article I of the State Constitution. The bill allows for the disclosure of these forms to domestic violence centers and the office of the state attorney, with the stipulation that the state attorney may release the information only in the context of official duties and pending criminal prosecutions.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for future legislative review and potential repeal of the exemption, set to expire on October 2, 2030, unless reenacted. It emphasizes the public necessity of protecting the sensitive information contained in lethality assessment forms to reduce the risk of further abuse for victims of domestic violence. The bill mandates the development of a statewide lethality assessment instrument and form by January 1, 2025, and requires training for law enforcement officers on administering the assessment.
