Pub. Rec./Uterine Fibroid Research Database

Summary

The bill adds a new exemption to Florida’s public records law, keeping any records or personal identifying information about women diagnosed with or treated for uterine fibroids, when submitted to the Department of Health, confidential. It is intended to protect patient privacy and allow the department to conduct research without violating HIPAA. The exemption remains in effect until 2031 unless the legislature reenacts it.
