Bill Summary
An act relating to a review under the Open Government Sunset Review Act; amending s. 252.385, F.S., which provides an exemption from public record requirements for the address and telephone number of persons provided public emergency shelter; removing the scheduled repeal date of the exemption; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends section 252.385 of the Florida Statutes to permanently protect the addresses and telephone numbers of individuals who are provided public emergency shelter during storms or catastrophic events. Currently, this information is exempt from public records requirements, meaning government agencies cannot disclose these personal details. The bill removes the existing scheduled repeal date of October 2, 2026, which was previously part of the law under the Open Government Sunset Review Act (a process that requires periodic legislative review of certain public records exemptions). By eliminating the sunset provision, the bill ensures that the privacy protections for people in emergency shelters will continue indefinitely, helping to safeguard the personal information of vulnerable individuals during times of crisis. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
