This bill amends section 350.01 of the Florida Statutes to remove the scheduled repeal of an exemption from public meeting requirements for certain portions of hearings conducted by the Florida Public Service Commission. Specifically, it eliminates 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 the Legislature acted to save it.

The bill maintains that portions of hearings where proprietary confidential business information is discussed remain exempt from public meeting requirements, ensuring that such discussions are recorded and transcribed but kept confidential unless a court determines otherwise. The effective date of this act is upon becoming law.
