Sunshine Committee recommendation bill passes Legislature

Contact: Candice Bock, Brandon Anderson

HB 1537, developed out of the 2019 recommendations by the Public Records Exemptions Accountability (Sunshine) Committee, narrows the exemption on applications for public employment. The bill excludes applications for vacancies in elected offices from the exemption. HB 1537 also removes an exemption for lists of members or owners of timeshare projects, subdivisions, camping resorts, condominiums, land developments, and associated communities. The bill was passed by the Legislature and is now on its way to the Governor for signature.
