The bill amends Section 390.01118 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to public records exemptions for minors seeking a judicial waiver of parental consent requirements for abortion. It establishes that any information that could identify a minor petitioning a court for such a waiver is confidential and exempt from public records requirements when held by specific judicial entities. The bill also removes the provision that subjected this section to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, which previously mandated a review and potential repeal of the exemption.

Additionally, the bill deletes the scheduled repeal date of October 2, 2025, which would have required legislative action to maintain the exemption. By eliminating this requirement, the exemption for identifying information related to minors seeking waivers will remain in effect indefinitely unless future legislation is enacted to change it. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
