The bill amends section 741.29 of the Florida Statutes to establish a confidentiality exemption for lethality assessment forms that contain a victim's information and responses. This exemption protects such forms from public records requirements, specifically from sections 119.07(1) and 24(a) 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 share the information in the course of their official duties and with parties involved in pending criminal prosecutions. The confidentiality provision is subject to review and may be repealed by the Legislature after October 2, 2030, unless it is reenacted.

Additionally, the bill mandates the development of a statewide evidence-based lethality assessment instrument and form by January 1, 2025, with training for law enforcement officers to be made available online. The Legislature emphasizes the public necessity of keeping lethality assessment information confidential to protect victims of domestic violence from potential harm and to encourage their participation in the assessment process. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
