In reading through the Florida Statutes (I review them from time to time when something piques my attention), I came to the section regarding the confidentiality of the personal data of carry licensees. The law protects such data, but there is a clause stating that this section will "sunset" 02 October of this year. Does anyone know if any measures have been proposed to extend the section period of force?
Edit: I'm adding here the statute section in question. Note the last part (subsection 3)
