Public Records and Meetings/Drug Overdose Death Review Committee/Suicide Death Review Committee

Summary

The bill would make any records that identify a person who died from a drug overdose or suicide, and their family members, confidential and exempt from Florida’s public‑records and open‑meeting laws. It allows limited sharing of those records for government purposes or authorized research, requires closed portions of committee meetings to be recorded and kept, and makes unauthorized disclosure a first‑degree misdemeanor. The measure was defeated in the Senate’s Children, Families, and Elder Affairs Committee.
