The bill amends section 381.9312 of the Florida Statutes to establish a public records exemption for certain records and personal identifying information related to women diagnosed with or treated for uterine fibroids. Specifically, it states that all such records submitted to the Department of Health for inclusion in the uterine fibroid research database are confidential and exempt from public records requirements as outlined in s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Article I of the State Constitution. This exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will be repealed on October 2, 2031, unless the Legislature reviews and reenacts it.

Additionally, the bill includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the importance of protecting the privacy rights of women involved in the uterine fibroid research database. It argues that without access to these confidential records, the Department of Health would struggle to effectively implement the legislative purpose of the database, which is crucial for epidemiological research and tracking. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
