Bill Summary

An act relating to a review under the Open Government Sunset Review Act; amending s. 390.01118, F.S., which provides an exemption from public records requirements for certain information that could identify a minor petitioning a court to waive parental consent requirements before terminating a pregnancy; removing the scheduled repeal of the exemption; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill permanently exempts from public records disclosure any information that could identify a minor who is seeking a judicial waiver of parental consent requirements before terminating a pregnancy. Currently, under Florida law, such information is considered confidential and exempt from public disclosure when held by courts or certain legal administrative offices. The bill removes the scheduled expiration (previously set for October 2, 2025) of this public records exemption, making the confidentiality protection permanent. The context is that this protects the privacy of minors who are going through a legal process to bypass parental consent for an abortion, ensuring that their identity remains anonymous. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, and continues to maintain the existing confidentiality provisions of the Parental Notice of and Consent for Abortion Act.
