Florida S1792 would make pawnbroker transaction records confidential and exempt from public records laws.

Florida S1792 aims to amend state law to make records relating to pawnbroker transactions confidential and exempt from public records requirements. These records, which include sensitive personal information, are currently exempt when delivered to other law enforcement officials. The bill seeks to extend this exemption to records delivered to the Department of Law Enforcement, citing risks of identity theft. The exemption is set to be reviewed and repealed on October 2, 2031, unless extended by the Legislature.
