In a sign of more turbulent times, the Legislature has created public records exemptions to shield county and city attorneys, and court clerks and “clerk personnel” from death threats and stalking.

The Senate on Monday voted 39-1 to sign off on HB 103 by Rep. Kristen Arrington, D-Kissimmee.

The exemption protects county and city attorneys, deputy county and deputy city attorneys, assistant county and assistant city attorneys, and their respective spouses and children.
