Summary

The bill would change Florida’s public‑records law so that custodians must acknowledge a request within three business days, give a good‑faith estimate of time and cost, and cannot charge fees if they miss the deadline. It also tightens rules on exemptions, remote electronic‑access fees, and adds civil and criminal penalties for violations. The measure failed to pass and died in the Rules Committee.
