MINOR
The bill was amended from a House filed version to a committee substitute version, primarily changing the effective date from October 1, 2025 to 'upon becoming a law' and adjusting the repeal date for one exemption from October 2, 2027 to October 2, 2025. These changes accelerate when certain cybersecurity information exemptions from public record requirements will expire.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains the same - it still governs exemptions for cybersecurity information under Florida's Open Government Sunset Review Act - but the timeline for when these exemptions expire has been modified.
TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from October 1, 2025 to 'upon becoming a law', allowing the bill to take effect immediately upon passage rather than waiting for the next fiscal year.

Adjusted the repeal date for the exemption under section 119.0725 from October 2, 2027 to October 2, 2026, shortening the exemption period by one year.
