FL H0541

Body camera recordings made by code inspectors are confidential and exempt from public records requirements when taken inside private residences, healthcare/mental health/social services facilities, or places where a reasonable person would expect privacy

Local governments must retain body camera recordings for at least 90 days and may disclose recordings to other government agencies for official duties or to persons depicted in the recordings (limited to portions relevant to their presence)

Courts may order disclosure of recordings after considering factors including compelling interest, sensitive personal information, potential harm to depicted persons' reputation or safety, and whether redaction could protect privacy

"Personal representative" is defined broadly to include parents, guardians, attorneys, agents with written authorization, and for deceased persons includes surviving spouses, parents, adult children, or guardians of surviving minor children

The exemption applies retroactively and is subject to Open Government Sunset Review, with automatic repeal on October 2, 2031 unless reenacted by the Legislature
