Public Records/Pawnbroker Transactions

Summary

The bill would expand Florida’s public‑records exemption to cover pawnbroker transaction files that are forwarded to the Department of Law Enforcement, keeping personal data such as names, addresses, and thumbprints private. It is intended to protect pledgors and sellers from identity‑theft risks while still allowing law‑enforcement use of the information. The exemption would automatically expire on October 2, 2031 unless the legislature reenacts it.
