AI Summary
- Creates s. 491.023, F.S., exempting a social worker's personal identifying information — except name, licensure status, and licensure number — from public records requirements when obtained from the Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact data system and held by the Department of Health or the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling.
- Permits disclosure of exempt social worker information only if the state that originally reported it to the data system authorizes disclosure by law, and only to the extent that state's law allows.
- Exempts from public meetings requirements any meeting or portion of a meeting of the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission, its executive committee, or other committees when matters specifically exempted from disclosure by federal or state law are discussed; also exempts recordings, minutes, and records generated during those closed meetings from public records requirements.
- Subjects all exemptions to the Open Government Sunset Review Act, with automatic repeal on October 2, 2030, unless reenacted by the Legislature.
- Takes effect contingent on the passage and enactment of HB 27 or similar legislation (establishing the Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact) during the same 2025 legislative session.
