SECTION 21031
Public records exemption.
F.S. 744.21031
744.21031 Public records exemption.—The home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of employment, and photographs of current or former public guardians and employees with fiduciary responsibility; the names, home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and places of employment of the spouses and children of such persons; and the names and locations of schools and day care facilities attended by the children of such persons are exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution. As used in this section, the term “employee with fiduciary responsibility” means an employee of a public guardian who has the ability to direct any transactions of a ward’s funds, assets, or property; who under the supervision of the guardian, manages the care of the ward; or who makes any health care decision, as defined in s. 765.101, on behalf of the ward. This exemption applies to information held by an agency before, on, or after July 1, 2018. An agency that is the custodian of the information specified in this section shall maintain the exempt status of that information only if the current or former public guardians and employees with fiduciary responsibility submit to the custodial agency a written request for maintenance of the exemption. This section is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15 and shall stand repealed on October 2, 2023, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature.
