Committee reports several additional bills favorably, including ICAC funding and public‑records updates
The Florida Senate Judiciary Committee also considered several other bills and reported them favorably with little substantive debate.

SB 1084: Sponsor Senator DeSigli described a targeted public‑records exemption for certain nonlegal support staff in state attorneys’ offices (victim advocates, witness coordinators, paralegals and clerical staff) from copying and inspection requirements. The committee reported the bill favorably.

SB 656 (CS): Senator Bradley explained SB 656 formalizes and funds the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force within FDLE and renames the existing grant as the Internet Crimes Against Children grant program. An amendment defined "good standing" and the committee reported the bill unanimously.

SB 812: Senator Simon explained this technical conforming bill to align public‑records law with the changes in SB 810 on sealing records; the committee adopted an amendment clarifying state‑attorney access to sealed records for prosecution and reported CS for SB 812 favorably.

Roll calls and appearance forms for these items show broad stakeholder support from law‑enforcement, advocacy and criminal‑justice groups. These bills will proceed to subsequent legislative steps.
