FL S7010

Maintains the confidentiality exemption from public records requirements for complaints and investigative information held by the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs related to public and professional guardians, removing the scheduled repeal date of October 2, 2022

Defines an investigation as "active" as long as the department continues with a reasonable, good faith belief that the investigation may lead to a finding that a guardian violated Office of Public and Professional Guardians standards of practice

Specifies that after an investigation is completed or ceases to be active, personal identifying information of complainants or wards, personal health and financial records of wards, and photographs/video recordings of complainants or wards remain confidential and exempt from public disclosure

Narrows the photograph and video recording exemption to apply only to images of a complainant or ward, rather than all photographs and video recordings associated with an investigation

Authorizes the department to share otherwise confidential information with law enforcement agencies, other regulatory agencies, the clerk of circuit court, or pursuant to a court order; effective October 1, 2022
