The bill amends section 943.03102 of the Florida Statutes to provide an exemption from public records requirements for certain information related to the designation of an organization as a domestic terrorist organization by the Chief of Domestic Security. Specifically, it states that any information critical to state or national security that is included in the written notice and findings provided to the Governor and Cabinet prior to such a designation is exempt from disclosure under public records laws. This exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will be repealed on October 2, 2031, unless it is reviewed and reenacted by the Legislature.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the necessity of keeping sensitive information confidential to ensure public safety. It requires the Chief of Domestic Security to consult with various law enforcement and national security organizations before making a designation, thereby reinforcing the importance of protecting critical security information from public disclosure. The act will take effect concurrently with the passage of related legislation, specifically HB 1471, if adopted in the same legislative session.
