The proposed bill aims to enhance the protection of personal information for public servants in Florida, including judges, law enforcement officers, and other officials, by creating a new section in the Florida Statutes (s. 111.101). It defines "protected information" to include home addresses, phone numbers, and other personal identifiers, and allows these individuals to notify data brokers to prevent the disclosure of such information. Data brokers are prohibited from disclosing or redisclosing this protected information after receiving a written notice from the covered person or their authorized agent. The bill also establishes civil actions against data brokers for non-compliance, with a standard of ordinary negligence for liability.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for public servants to request nondisclosure, including the requirement for data brokers to provide a publicly accessible email address for such notices. It specifies that it is not a defense for data brokers that the protected information was available through other means, and it provides for damages, including actual or liquidated damages of $1,000 per violation, punitive damages for willful disregard, and reasonable attorney fees. The act is set to take effect on January 15, 2027.
