County and city attorneys and their deputies, and circuit court clerks, their deputies, and court clerk “personnel,” will receive additional protection from death threats and stalking under bills Gov. Ron DeSantis signed late Thursday.

DeSantis on June 13 signed HB 103, “Public Records, County and City Attorneys,” by Rep. Kristen Arrington, D-Kissimmee, and HB 983, “Public Records, Circuit Court Clerks and Deputy Clerks, and Clerk Personnel,” by Democratic Rep. Dan Daley, a Coral Springs prosecutor.

HB 103 would create a public records exemption for county and city attorneys, and their deputies, that would shield from public view their names, home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs.
