Public Records/Sealed Criminal History Records

Summary

The measure expands Florida’s public‑records exemption so that sealed criminal history records for people convicted of certain non‑violent misdemeanors are confidential. Only the record holder, their lawyer, designated criminal‑justice agencies, state attorneys for prosecution, judges, and specific licensing or employment entities could view the records. It aims to remove barriers to jobs, housing and other opportunities for people who have had their records sealed.
