457 conveyance of real property after October 1, 2021, and when such
458 real property no longer constitutes a protected party’s home
459 address as defined in sub-subparagraph 1.a., the protected party
460 must submit a written request to release the removed information
461 to the county recorder. The written request to release the
462 removed information must be notarized, must confirm that a
463 protected party’s request for release is pursuant to a
464 conveyance of his or her dwelling location, and must specify the
465 Official Records book and page, instrument number, or clerk’s
466 file number for each document containing the information to be
467 released.
468 9. Upon the death of a protected party as verified by a
469 certified copy of a death certificate or court order, any party
470 can request the county recorder to release a protected
471 decedent’s removed information unless there is a related request
472 on file with the county recorder for continued removal of the
473 decedent’s information or unless such removal is otherwise
474 prohibited by statute or by court order. The written request to
475 release the removed information upon the death of a protected
476 party must attach the certified copy of a death certificate or
477 court order and must be notarized, must confirm the request for
478 release is due to the death of a protected party, and must
479 specify the Official Records book and page number, instrument
480 number, or clerk’s file number for each document containing the
481 information to be released. A fee may not be charged for the
482 release of any document pursuant to such request.
483 Section 2. The Legislature finds that it is a public
484 necessity that the partial home addresses and telephone numbers
485 of current congressional members and public officers and their
486 spouses and adult children; the names, home addresses, telephone
487 numbers, and dates of birth of the minor children of such
488 congressional members and officers; and the names and locations
489 of schools and day care facilities attended by the minor
490 children of such congressional members and officers be made
491 exempt from s. 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, and s. 24(a),
492 Article I of the State Constitution. Congressional members and
493 public officers are often confronted with making difficult and
494 impactful policy decisions. As a result, congressional members
495 and public officers and their families may receive threats,
496 including, but not limited to, verbal threats, harassment, and
497 intimidation, while carrying out their official duties.
498 Vulnerability to such threats may discourage residents of this
499 state from seeking elected office in order to protect themselves
500 and their families. The Legislature further finds that the harm
501 that may result from the release of such personal identifying
502 and location information outweighs any public benefit that may
503 be derived from the disclosure of the information.
504 Section 3. This act shall take effect July 1, 2025.
