This bill amends section 252.385 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to public records exemptions for addresses and telephone numbers of individuals who receive public emergency shelter during storms or catastrophic events. The bill removes the provision that subjected this exemption to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, which would have led to its repeal on October 2, 2026, unless reviewed and reenacted by the Legislature.
By deleting the scheduled repeal, the bill ensures that the exemption for the personal information of individuals provided emergency shelter remains in effect indefinitely, thereby protecting their privacy. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
