AI Summary

  • Creates section 559.5558 of Florida Statutes to exempt from public records disclosure information collected during investigations and examinations by the Office of Financial Regulation of the Financial Services Commission.

  • Makes exempt information confidential during active investigations but allows disclosure to law enforcement and other administrative agencies; exemption ends when investigation concludes unless disclosure would jeopardize other active investigations, reveal personal identifying information of non-complainants, reveal confidential sources, disclose investigative techniques, or reveal trade secrets.
