AI Summary
- Personal identifying information (name, date of birth, driver license number, Social Security number, home address, mailing address, phone number, and email) in applications to the Department of Legal Affairs for the Dozier School for Boys and Okeechobee School Victim Compensation Program is made confidential and exempt from public records requirements
- Confidential information may be released to the Department of Education solely to facilitate awarding standard high school diplomas to compensated victims, or upon court order
- The exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will stand repealed on October 2, 2029, unless reenacted by the Legislature
- The Legislature finds that public disclosure of applicants' identities could subject victims to further trauma and harassment, and that confidentiality protections may encourage more victims to come forward and apply for compensation
- The act's effective date is contingent on the passage and enactment of SB 24 or similar legislation establishing the compensation program during the same legislative session
