AI Summary
- Amends Florida Statute 119.0714 to create a public records exemption for any matter in a pleading, request for relief, or other document that has been stricken by a court in a noncriminal case
- The exemption applies only when the court finds the stricken matter is immaterial, impertinent, or sham and would defame or cause unwarranted damage to an individual's reputation or jeopardize an individual's safety
- The Legislature declares that stricken matters remaining in the public record cause unwarranted and ongoing harm to affected persons and serve no identifiable public purpose
- The Legislature finds the potential harm from releasing such stricken matters outweighs any public benefit from their disclosure, satisfying the constitutional requirement for a public necessity statement
- Effective date is July 1, 2025
