AI Summary

  • Creates a public-records exemption for information held by the Office of Financial Regulation during investigations of consumer collection agency violations under part VI of chapter 559, Florida Statutes.

  • Defines "personal financial information" to include details about consumer income, expenses, debt, financial transactions, and assets or liabilities.

  • Exempts investigative information from disclosure while investigations are active, but allows sharing with law enforcement and other administrative agencies; information becomes public once investigation concludes unless disclosure would jeopardize ongoing investigations, reveal personal identifying information of non-complainant consumers, expose confidential sources, reveal investigative techniques, or disclose trade secrets.

  • Permits disclosure of complainant personal identifying information after investigation completion, but keeps complainant personal financial information permanently confidential and exempt.

  • Subjects the exemption to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and requires legislative reenactment by October 2, 2015, to prevent repeal; takes effect contingent upon CS for SB 1702 or similar legislation becoming law.
