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 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exemption, which previously stated that the exemption was subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and would be repealed on October 2, 2026, unless reviewed and reenacted by the Legislature.

By eliminating the sunset provision, the bill ensures that the exemption for aquaculture records will remain in effect indefinitely, without the need for future legislative review. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
