AI Summary

  • Email addresses, telephone numbers, personal and business names, and parcel identification numbers submitted to a clerk of the circuit court or property appraiser to register for a recording notification service are made confidential and exempt from Florida's public records requirements, accessible only by court order
  • The exemption applies retroactively to information held before, on, or after the effective date of the act
  • The recording notification service was created in response to increased fraudulent real property conveyances, alerting registrants by email or text when a land record is recorded against their monitored identity in a county's public records
  • The Legislature declares a public necessity to protect registrants from becoming targets of other fraud through exposure of their monitoring information, and to prevent non-participants from being targeted due to their identifiable absence from the service
  • The exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will automatically repeal on October 2, 2029, unless reenacted by the Legislature
