Bill Summary
An act relating to a review under the Open Government Sunset Review Act; amending s. 350.01, F.S., which provides an exemption from public meeting requirements for portions of a hearing before the Public Service Commission wherein certain proprietary confidential business information is discussed; removing the scheduled repeal of the exemption; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill permanently removes the scheduled repeal of an existing exemption related to Public Service Commission (PSC) hearings involving proprietary confidential business information. Currently, portions of PSC hearings that discuss confidential business information are exempt from public meeting requirements, and these portions must be recorded and transcribed. The recordings and transcripts remain confidential unless a court determines through an in-camera review that the hearing was not strictly limited to discussing confidential information. By removing the language about the Open Government Sunset Review Act and the October 2, 2026 repeal date, the bill makes this exemption permanent, ensuring that sensitive business information discussed during PSC hearings can continue to be protected from public disclosure. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law.
