Florida S1124 exempts autopsy reports of sudden and unexpected deaths from public records, with limited exceptions.

Florida S1124 creates an exemption from public records requirements for autopsy reports of certain sudden and unexpected deaths, including those of infants and children, and those suspected to be caused by Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome. The exemption aims to prevent emotional injury to the immediate family of the deceased and to prevent the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive findings. Exceptions allow surviving parents and adult siblings to view and copy the report, and the Department of Health to access the report for epidemiological research and tracking duties.
