The bill establishes a public records exemption for patient information contained in the Parkinson's disease registry, as outlined in the newly created section 1004.43521 of the Florida Statutes. It specifies that any information identifying a patient is confidential and exempt from public records laws. The bill allows for the disclosure of this information under certain conditions, such as to the Parkinson's Disease Research Board or to a contracted private entity, provided that the entity agrees to maintain confidentiality, submit a research plan, destroy confidential records after use, and refrain from contacting patients directly.

Additionally, the bill includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the importance of keeping patient information confidential to protect individual privacy and ensure the effective administration of the registry. It also stipulates that the exemption is subject to review under the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will be repealed on October 2, 2031, unless the Legislature reenacts it. The act is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, HB 1443, during the same legislative session.
