The bill establishes a new section, 468.3711, in the Florida Statutes, which provides specific exemptions from public records and meetings requirements for the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact Commission. It protects a respiratory therapist's personal identifying information, excluding their name, licensure status, or licensure number, from public disclosure unless authorized by the state that reported the information. Additionally, it exempts meetings or portions of meetings where sensitive matters are discussed from public meeting requirements, as well as the recordings, minutes, and records generated during these exempt meetings.

The bill includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the need to protect the confidentiality of respiratory therapists' information and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the commission's operations. It also stipulates that these exemptions are subject to future legislative review and will be repealed on October 2, 2031, unless reenacted. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, HB 1235, and will take effect simultaneously with that bill.
