The bill establishes a new section, 461.0182, in the Florida Statutes, which provides exemptions from public records and meetings requirements for certain information related to the Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact. Specifically, it exempts a podiatric physician's personal identifying information, excluding their name, licensure status, and licensure number, from public disclosure unless authorized by the state that reported the information. Additionally, meetings of the Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact Commission, or its committees, that discuss matters exempted from disclosure by law are also exempt from public meeting requirements. Recordings, minutes, and records generated during these exempt meetings are similarly protected from public records requirements.

The bill includes provisions for future legislative review and potential repeal of these exemptions, set to expire on October 2, 2031, unless saved from repeal through legislative action. It emphasizes the necessity of these exemptions to effectively implement and administer the Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact, which is crucial for Florida's participation in the compact. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, HB 1213, and will take effect concurrently with it.
