Bill Summary

An act relating to a review under the Open Government Sunset Review Act; amending s. 119.0712, F.S., which provides an exemption from public records requirements for certain information held by the Department of Military Affairs stored in a United States Department of Defense system of records, transmitted using a United States Department of Defense network or communications device, or pertaining to the United States Department of Defense; extending the scheduled repeal date of the exemption; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill extends a public records exemption for certain information held by Florida's Department of Military Affairs that is related to the United States Department of Defense (DoD), meaning information stored in DoD systems, transmitted on DoD networks, or otherwise pertaining to the DoD. This exemption, which prevents such information from being publicly disclosed under Florida's open government laws, was originally set to expire on October 2, 2026, but this bill pushes that repeal date back to October 2, 2031, effectively keeping this information private for an additional five years unless the Legislature intervenes. The bill also states that it will become law immediately upon being enacted.
