<This section is repealed by its own terms on October 2, 2029, unless reviewed and saved from repeal by the Legislature.>

(1) A physician's personal identifying information, other than the physician's name, licensure status, or licensure number, obtained from the coordinated information system described in Section 7 of s. 456.4501 and held by the department, the Board of Medicine, or the Board of Osteopathic Medicine, is exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution unless the state that originally reported the information to the coordinated information system authorizes the disclosure of such information by law. If disclosure is so authorized, information may be disclosed only to the extent authorized by law by the reporting state.

(2)(a) A meeting or a portion of a meeting of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission established in Section 10 of s. 456.4501 is exempt from s. 286.011 and s. 24(b), Art. I of the State Constitution if the Interstate Commission determines by a two-thirds vote of the commissioners present that the meeting would be likely to:

1. Relate solely to the internal personnel practices and procedures of the Interstate Commission;

2. Discuss matters specifically exempted from disclosure by federal statute;

3. Discuss trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential;

4. Involve accusing a person of a crime, or formally censuring a person;

5. Discuss information of a personal nature, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;

6. Discuss investigative records compiled for law enforcement purposes; or

7. Specifically relate to the participation in a civil action or other legal proceeding.

(b) Recordings, minutes, and records generated during an exempt meeting or exempt portion of a meeting are exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.

(3) This section is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15 and shall stand repealed on October 2, 2029, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature.
