MINOR
The bill was revised from an enrolled version to a proposed version, resetting the timeline to January 2026 and changing the status to 'For Consideration.' The most significant substantive change is a formatting correction in the legal text regarding court procedures for reviewing cybersecurity exemptions, which clarifies that records must be submitted for inspection in camera when specific exemptions are alleged.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on cybersecurity and public records exemptions, but the status changed from 'Enrolled' to 'Proposed,' indicating it is now under committee review rather than finalized.
TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from June 10, 2026, to January 15, 2026, and the bill status was updated from 'Enrolled' to 'Proposed Bill'.

REQUIREMENT

A paragraph detailing court procedures for inspecting records was restructured to improve clarity on when an 'inspection in camera' is mandatory versus discretionary.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the list of Florida Statutes sections being amended to ensure consistent citation styles.
