Bill > S7004

This bill amends Florida Statute 119.071 to remove a scheduled repeal date for an exemption that protects information gathered during reinvestigations by "conviction integrity units," which are special units within state attorney's offices tasked with reviewing claims of actual innocence. The exemption, which applies to information generated after a unit formally accepts a case for review, will now remain in effect indefinitely, rather than being set to expire on October 2, 2026, as previously planned under the Open Government Sunset Review Act, which mandates periodic legislative review of such exemptions.
