Full bill text →

Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Removes the automatic 2026 repeal of a public meeting exemption.

The bill deletes a clause that would have automatically ended a specific exemption from public meeting rules on October 2, 2026.

By removing this sunset provision, the exemption for discussing proprietary business information during Florida Public Service Commission hearings remains in effect indefinitely.

This change ensures that confidential business information continues to be shielded from public disclosure during these specific hearing portions.

KEY PROVISIONS

“This subsection is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15 and shall stand repealed on October 2, 2026, unless reviewed and saved from repeal” bill text, line 34 →
