Bill > S7002

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.
