Subcommittee approves narrow public-records exemption to enable interstate compact participation
Representative Redondo presented HB 695 explaining the exemption is narrowly intended to permit Florida’s participation in interstate licensure compacts that require certain records and discussions to remain confidential. He said the measure is limited to the compact-related records needed for participation.

There were no public witnesses and limited debate; Representative Bartleman voiced support. The committee recorded a roll call of 14 yeas and 1 nay and reported the bill favorably.

The committee record does not enumerate the exact compact(s) to be affected in the transcript; sponsor characterized the change as a necessary confidentiality carve-out to enable interstate compact membership and participation.
