Bill > S1802

This bill creates a public records exemption for information in the Parkinson's Disease Research Program Registry, which provides background information on individuals served by the program. The exemption protects personal identifying health care information from public disclosure under Florida's public records laws, with the Legislature arguing that such disclosure could potentially invade an individual's privacy, hinder the registry's administration, or enable harassment. Specifically, the registry's information can only be shared with other governmental entities in the furtherance of their duties, and the exemption is not permanent—it will automatically expire on October 2, 2030, unless the Legislature reviews and reenacts it. The bill includes a provision that allows the information to be shared with other governmental entities without waiving the exemption, and it is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act. The exemption is contingent on the passage of related legislation (SB 1800) and will take effect on the same date that bill becomes law.
