Names of Florida Governor’s Mansion guests would be shielded under this bill

TALLAHASSEE — The names of certain guests at the Governor’s Mansion would not be disclosed to the public under Senate and House bills that also would shield travel records of the governor and other state leaders.

In party-line votes Tuesday, the Republican-controlled Senate Rules Committee and House Judiciary Committee approved the bills (SB 1616 and HB 1495), positioning them to go to the full Senate and House.

The bills would create a public records exemption involving information held by law enforcement agencies related to “security or transportation services” provided to the governor, the governor’s immediate family, the lieutenant governor, Cabinet members, the House speaker, the Senate president and the chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court.

The exemption also would apply to other people if requested by the governor or other state leaders for security reasons. The exemption would be retroactive to trips already taken.


What does @GovRonDeSantis and the @FloridaGOP want to hide?

Better question. WHO is he trying to hide!
