The bill amends section 119.071 of the Florida Statutes to define "state attorneys office or Office of Statewide Prosecution nonlegal support staff" and establishes an exemption from public records requirements for the personal identifying and location information of these individuals, as well as their spouses and children. This includes protection for home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs, aimed at safeguarding their privacy due to the sensitive nature of their roles in the criminal justice system. The bill also incorporates provisions for future legislative review and potential repeal of the exemption, with a retroactive application.

Additionally, the bill amends section 744.21031 to update a cross-reference and includes a statement of public necessity. It specifies the class codes associated with nonlegal support staff and outlines the conditions under which their personal information is exempt from public disclosure. The exemptions will be subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, with a review date set for October 2, 2031, unless reenacted by the Legislature. The bill is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2026.
