Bill > S7000

This bill makes a permanent change to a law that protects the privacy of individuals who have received public emergency shelter, such as during a hurricane or other disaster. Specifically, it removes a provision that would have automatically ended this privacy protection on October 2, 2026, meaning the addresses and phone numbers of people who received emergency shelter will no longer be considered public records and will remain confidential indefinitely. The law being amended, section 252.385 of the Florida Statutes, defines "agency" as any entity that provides emergency shelter, and the exemption from public records requirements is intended to protect the safety and privacy of these individuals.
