Bill Summary
An act relating to public records; amending s. 790.065, F.S.; providing an exemption from public records requirements for records containing certain information pertaining to a buyer or transferee who is not found to be prohibited from receipt or transfer of ammunition; providing for future legislative review and repeal of the exemption; providing for the reversion of specified statutory text unless certain conditions are met; providing a statement of public necessity; providing a contingent effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida Statute 790.065 to extend confidentiality protections to records related to ammunition purchases, similar to existing protections for firearm purchases. Specifically, the bill makes records about buyers or transferees who are legally permitted to receive ammunition confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements. The bill includes a sunset provision that will automatically repeal this confidentiality exemption on October 2, 2031, unless the Legislature reenacts it. The legislation's rationale emphasizes protecting individuals' privacy and preventing potential harassment, arguing that knowledge of ammunition purchases could be used to profile or intimidate law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights. The bill's effectiveness is contingent upon the passage of a related bill (SB 88), and it includes a detailed explanation of why such confidentiality is necessary, highlighting concerns about potential misuse of personal information related to ammunition purchases. The bill aims to shield individuals' personal information from public disclosure while maintaining background check processes for legal ammunition transfers.
