Bill > H1431

This bill amends Florida Statutes to create confidentiality protections for electronic uniform mitigation verification inspection forms submitted to the Office of Insurance Regulation. Specifically, the bill makes the electronic filings and associated data, including policyholders' personal identifiers like names, phone numbers, email addresses, insurance companies, and policy numbers, confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements. The Legislature justifies this exemption by arguing that such personal information could compromise policyholders' privacy, potentially expose trade secrets, and create security risks in an era of widespread internet use. The confidentiality provisions will be subject to periodic legislative review and are set to automatically expire on October 2, 2030, unless the Legislature specifically votes to continue them. The bill's implementation is contingent on the passage of related legislation (HB 1429) during the 2025 legislative session.
