This bill amends section 119.0714 of the Florida Statutes to create an exemption from public records requirements for information contained in documents that have been stricken by the court in noncriminal cases. Specifically, the bill stipulates that if a court finds that the stricken information is immaterial, impertinent, or untrue, and that its disclosure would defame or cause unwarranted damage to an individual's reputation or jeopardize their safety, such information will be kept confidential. The exemption applies retroactively to any document stricken by the court, regardless of when it occurred.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for future legislative review and potential repeal of the exemption, set to expire on October 2, 2030, unless it is reenacted. The Legislature has declared a public necessity for this exemption, emphasizing that the potential harm from releasing stricken information outweighs any public benefit from its disclosure. The act will take effect contingent upon the passage of related legislation, SB 1650, in the same session.
