Bill Summary
An act relating to a review under the Open Government Sunset Review Act; amending s. 597.0042, F.S., which provides an exemption from public record requirements for certain aquaculture records held by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; removing the scheduled repeal of the exemption; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill makes changes to a law that protects certain records related to aquaculture, which is the farming of aquatic organisms like fish and shellfish, held by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Specifically, it removes a provision that would have automatically repealed this protection on October 2, 2026. The Open Government Sunset Review Act, mentioned in the original law, is a process where laws that create exemptions to public records requirements are reviewed periodically to ensure they are still necessary. By removing the scheduled repeal, this bill ensures that the exemption for these aquaculture records will continue to be in effect indefinitely, unless the Legislature decides otherwise in the future.
