AI Summary
- Makes the nonjudicial arrest record of a minor who successfully completed a diversion program confidential and exempt from Florida's public records requirements under s. 119.07(1) and the State Constitution's public records provision
- Limits access to these sealed or expunged records to criminal justice agencies and only for specific purposes outlined in existing law (subparagraph (2)(b)1)
- Applies retroactively to records held by the department before, on, or after July 1, 2021
- Includes an Open Government Sunset Review provision, with the exemption set to be automatically repealed on October 2, 2026, unless reenacted by the Legislature
- Justifies the exemption as a public necessity, stating that accessible arrest records can jeopardize a minor's ability to obtain education, employment, and other opportunities, undermining the rehabilitative purpose of diversion programs
