MINOR
This bill maintains the existing exemption from public records requirements for site-specific location information about endangered and threatened species in Florida. The primary change is the removal of a scheduled repeal date (October 2, 2025) that would have ended this exemption, effectively making the exemption permanent unless later reviewed under the Open Government Sunset Review Act. The substantive policy content regarding what information is protected and when the law takes effect remains unchanged.
Scope change
The scope of the exemption remains the same, but the temporary sunset provision has been removed, making the exemption permanent rather than time-limited.
TIMELINE
Removed the scheduled repeal date of October 2, 2025, which would have ended the public records exemption for endangered species location information
