This bill amends sections 119.0725 and 282.318 of the Florida Statutes to revise the exemptions from public records and public meetings requirements concerning agency cybersecurity information. Specifically, it extends the scheduled repeal date of these exemptions from October 2, 2027, to October 2, 2026, for section 119.0725 and from October 2, 2025, to October 2, 2026, for section 282.318. The bill maintains the confidentiality of various cybersecurity-related information, including risk assessments, evaluations, and incident reports, ensuring that such information remains protected from public disclosure to prevent unauthorized access or modification.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any exempt portions of meetings must be recorded and transcribed, with those records also remaining confidential. It allows for the sharing of confidential information with law enforcement and other governmental entities for official duties. The act is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, which requires periodic review of the exemptions to determine their necessity. The effective date of the act is set for July 1, 2025.
