Florida commission hearings keep business secrets private

The Florida Public Service Commission keeps hearing portions closed when they discuss business information protected by specified confidentiality laws. All closed portions must be recorded and transcribed; none can be off the record. These recordings and transcripts stay confidential. If a court's private review finds information that is not protected, only the parts revealing that information may be disclosed. Effective upon becoming law, the act removes the October 2, 2026 repeal date, making these protections permanent.
