FL S1146

Expands public records exemption from recordings of law enforcement officer killings to include recordings of any person's killing, defining "killing of a person" as acts causing death of any human being, including related acts immediately before or after death.

Excludes from the exemption recordings of persons killed while in the care and custody of a state agency, making those records subject to public disclosure requirements.

Grants access to exempted recordings to surviving spouses, parents, or adult children of the deceased in order of priority, and allows designated agents and governmental entities acting in official capacity to access the recordings.

Permits courts to authorize disclosure of recordings upon a showing of good cause, considering whether disclosure is necessary for public evaluation of governmental performance and whether it is the least intrusive means available.

Establishes retroactive application to all killings regardless of date and subjects the exemption to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, with repeal scheduled for October 2, 2024 unless reenacted by the Legislature.
