The bill amends section 741.29 of the Florida Statutes to establish a public records exemption for lethality assessment forms that contain sensitive information about domestic violence victims. Specifically, it designates these forms as confidential and exempt from public disclosure under certain statutes, allowing them to be shared only with domestic violence centers and the office of the state attorney. The state attorney is permitted to disclose this confidential information as necessary for official duties and in the context of pending criminal prosecutions. The exemption is subject to review and may be repealed after October 2, 2030, unless the Legislature reenacts it.

Additionally, the bill mandates the development of a statewide lethality assessment instrument and form by January 1, 2025, with input from various stakeholders, including domestic violence advocacy organizations. It emphasizes the importance of protecting the confidentiality of the information contained in these assessments to encourage victim participation and reduce the risk of further abuse. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
