The bill amends section 119.071 of the Florida Statutes to create an exemption from public records requirements for the personal identifying and location information of current county and city administrators, as well as their spouses and children. This includes protection for home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, photographs, and other similar information. The intent of this exemption is to enhance the safety and privacy of these public officials and their families, acknowledging the potential risks associated with their positions.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for future legislative review and repeal, with a sunset date of October 2, 2031, unless reenacted by the Legislature. It emphasizes the necessity of safeguarding this information to prevent fraud and threats to the safety of these officials and their families. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and aims to ensure that the personal information of these public officials remains confidential, thereby mitigating risks associated with public discontent towards their roles.
