Florida H0821 creates an exemption from public records requirements for autopsy reports of sudden and unexpected deaths.
Florida H0821 amends the public records law to make autopsy reports of sudden and unexpected deaths confidential and exempt from public records requirements. This exemption applies to reports of infants or children who die suddenly and unexpectedly, as well as individuals of any age whose death is suspected to be caused by Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome. The reports are exempt from public disclosure to protect the privacy of the deceased and their families, though they may be viewed by the deceased's surviving parents and adult siblings.
