Navigation Governor signs public records exemption to protect veterans and mental health patients in specialty courts into law
Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a measure that makes privacy protections in Florida’s problem solving courts more uniform.
DeSantis on March 22 signed HB 715 by Republican Rep. Patt Maney, a retired Northwest Florida judge. Sen. Darryl Rouson, a St. Petersburg attorney, sponsored the companion, SB 910.
The legislation creates a public records exemption for participants in veterans and mental health courts, extending the same privacy protections that apply to other problem-solving courts.
