The bill amends section 252.385 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to public records exemptions for individuals provided public emergency shelter during storms or catastrophic events. Specifically, it removes the scheduled repeal date of the exemption for the address and telephone number of these individuals, ensuring that this information remains confidential indefinitely.

The previous language that subjected this exemption to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and included a repeal date of October 2, 2026, has been deleted. As a result, the exemption will no longer be subject to periodic review and will continue to protect the privacy of individuals who seek emergency shelter. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
