This bill amends section 597.0042 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to public records exemptions for certain aquaculture records held by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The key change in the bill is the removal of the scheduled repeal of the exemption, which previously stated that the exemption was subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and would be repealed on October 2, 2026, unless reviewed and saved from repeal by the Legislature.

By eliminating this scheduled repeal, the bill effectively makes the exemption for aquaculture records permanent, ensuring that these records remain protected from public disclosure indefinitely. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
