Bill > H1199

This bill creates an exemption from public records requirements for the personal identifying information of adults who participate in prearrest diversion programs in Florida. The exemption applies to information held by law enforcement agencies, program service providers, the clerk of the circuit court, or the entity operating the prearrest diversion program before, on, or after the effective date of the exemption. The exemption does not apply to the personal information of adults who fail to complete the prearrest diversion program. The bill provides for future review and repeal of the exemption in accordance with the Open Government Sunset Review Act, and it states that the exemption is necessary to protect the privacy of adults who participate in these programs and to preserve the goals of the prearrest diversion program.
