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 amendment removes the scheduled repeal of this exemption, ensuring that the personal information of those provided emergency shelter remains protected indefinitely.

Specifically, the bill deletes the language that subjects this exemption to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, which would have required periodic review and potential repeal of the exemption. By eliminating this requirement, the bill solidifies the confidentiality of the addresses and phone numbers held by the agency that provided the emergency shelter, thereby enhancing privacy protections for individuals in emergency situations. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
