Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDFlorida already keeps email addresses that DHSMV collects for driver license, ID card, and vehicle registration renewal notices confidential. This bill adds email addresses collected for vessel registration renewal notices to that same exemption.
The exemption gains its own sunset clause: it automatically expires on October 2, 2031, unless the Legislature reviews it and votes to keep it in place.
This bill only takes effect if a companion bill, HB 937, or similar legislation expanding when DHSMV can notify people by email, also becomes law in the same legislative session.
AIEmail addresses the department collects under s. 328.30(3) for vessel registration renewal notices are now exempt from public-records disclosure, alongside the driver license, ID card, and vehicle registration emails already covered.
AIThe email exemption for driver, ID card, vehicle, and now vessel registration notices is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and automatically repeals on October 2, 2031, unless the Legislature reenacts it.
AIThis act does not take effect on its own. It only becomes law if HB 937, or similar legislation expanding when the department can notify people by email, also passes and becomes law in the same legislative session or an extension of it.
