OGSR/Aquaculture Records

HB 7011 prevents the automatic expiration of an exemption that allows Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) to keep certain aquaculture records private, rather than making them public. The bill removes a scheduled repeal date (October 2, 2026) from existing law, ensuring this exemption remains in place indefinitely unless the legislature acts again. This directly affects DACS, which manages aquaculture operations, by maintaining its ability to withhold specific business records from public disclosure under current rules. The bill does not create new policy but preserves an existing administrative practice for aquaculture-related records.
