The bill amends Section 631.195 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to public records exemptions for certain records held by the Department of Financial Services when acting as a receiver. It revises the list of records that are exempt from public records requirements, specifically removing the exemption for underwriting files typically maintained by insurers and the own-risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) summary reports. Additionally, it modifies the exemption for personnel and payroll records to exclude only the names, benefits, and compensation of executive officers. The bill also clarifies that the exemptions apply to records held by the department before, on, and after July 1, 2020.

Furthermore, the bill removes the scheduled repeal of the exemption, which was previously set to expire on October 2, 2025, unless reviewed and reenacted by the Legislature. This change ensures that the confidentiality of the specified records will continue indefinitely without the need for periodic review. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
