Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATED
Makes the aquaculture public-records exemption permanent.
Florida law required this aquaculture-records public-records exemption to be reviewed by October 2, 2026, and to expire automatically unless the Legislature voted to save it. This bill deletes that entire review-and-expire requirement outright.
Without a scheduled repeal date, the exemption for these Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services aquaculture records now continues indefinitely, unless a future Legislature passes a separate law to end it.

Aquaculture records exemption no longer set to expire
majors. 597.0042(4)
AIThe public-records exemption for aquaculture records held by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services was set to automatically repeal on October 2, 2026 unless the Legislature reviewed and reenacted it. This bill deletes that review-and-expire requirement, so the exemption continues with no further legislative action needed.
“shall stand repealed on October 2, 2026, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature”
