This bill amends section 119.0713 of the Florida Statutes to establish an exemption from public records requirements for body camera recordings made by code inspectors under specific circumstances. It defines key terms such as "body camera," "code inspector," and "personal representative," and outlines that recordings taken in private residences, healthcare facilities, or other private settings are confidential and exempt from public disclosure. However, there are exceptions that allow for disclosure to individuals depicted in the recordings, their personal representatives, or through a court order, with certain conditions applied to protect sensitive information.

Additionally, the bill mandates that local governments retain body camera recordings for a minimum of 90 days and provides for retroactive application of the exemption. It includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the need for confidentiality to protect sensitive personal information captured during inspections. The bill is subject to future legislative review and will be repealed on October 2, 2031, unless reenacted. The Division of Library and Information Services is directed to establish a retention requirement for these recordings by October 1, 2026. The act will take effect concurrently with related legislation, should it be adopted.
