This bill amends section 112.231 of the Florida Statutes to provide a public records exemption for information related to a person's plans, intentions, or interests in locating a data center within a county or municipality. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection (5) that allows individuals to request confidentiality for such information, which will be exempt from public disclosure for 12 months after the request is made, or until the information is disclosed or the individual waives confidentiality. The bill also defines "proprietary confidential business information" and outlines the types of information that fall under this category, including business plans and security measures.

Additionally, the bill includes a statement of public necessity, emphasizing the importance of maintaining confidentiality for individuals seeking to establish data centers in Florida. It argues that public disclosure of sensitive information could harm businesses by revealing strategic plans to competitors, potentially driving them to conduct business outside the state. The bill is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will be repealed on October 2, 2031, unless reviewed and reenacted by the Legislature. The act will take effect contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
