AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's public records law to exempt the personal identifying and location information of current or former medical examiners, as well as their spouses and children, from public disclosure. The exemption applies to home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs. The bill provides a statement of public necessity, explaining that the release of such information could pose security risks and allow unwarranted intrusion into their private lives, potentially compromising their ability to carry out their duties. The exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will stand repealed on October 2, 2029, unless reviewed and reenacted by the legislature.
