FL S1610

Allows judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, correctional officers, public defenders, and other specified public servants — as well as their family members and household residents — to submit written notices to data brokers requiring removal of their protected personal information within 10 business days

Protected information includes home addresses, phone numbers, personal email addresses, Social Security numbers, driver license numbers, license plate numbers, and mobile advertising or device tracking identifiers

Data brokers that fail to comply face civil liability under an ordinary negligence standard, with courts awarding the greater of actual damages or $1,000 per violation in liquidated damages, plus punitive damages for willful or reckless disregard, reasonable attorney fees, and equitable relief

The law provides no defense based on the information being publicly available elsewhere, and accessing a data broker's website to check compliance does not bind the covered person to any terms of service, waivers, or liability limitations

Effective date is July 1, 2025, with a severability clause and legislative findings citing rising threats and violence against public servants facilitated by the availability of personal data through technology
