AI Summary

  • Exempts from public records requirements any information held by a law enforcement agency that could identify whether a particular individual has been assigned as a safe-school officer at a private school
  • Applies the exemption under both Florida's public records statute (s. 119.07(1)) and the State Constitution's public records provision (Article I, Section 24(a))
  • Subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and automatically repeals on October 2, 2028, unless reenacted by the Legislature
  • Justifies the exemption on the grounds that disclosing a safe-school officer's identity could compromise their ability to respond to active assailant situations and undermine the deterrent effect of the program
  • Contingent effective date tied to the passage of SB 150 (or similar legislation) in the same 2023 legislative session, which establishes the safe-school officer program for private schools
