125	125	Section 2. (1) The Legislature finds that it is a public 76
126	126	necessity that the report on adversarial threats to state ass ets 77
127	127	and critical infrastructure, military installations, and other 78
128	128	assets be made confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1), 79
129	129	Florida Statutes, and s. 24(a), Article I of the State 80
130	130	Constitution. Such report may contain information identifying 81

134	134	(2) The Legislature further finds that it is a public 85
135	135	necessity that the notifications sent to owners or operators of 86
136	136	critical infrastructure and other assets that have been 87
137	137	identified as a potential target of malicious actions by 88
138	138	adversarial nations in the event of a Pacific conflict be exempt 89
139	139	from s. 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, and s. 24(a), Article I of 90
140	140	the State Constitution. Such notifications may contain national 91

144	144	(3) The Legislature further finds that it is a public 95
145	145	necessity that any portion of a meeting of the Council on 96

162	162	infrastructure, state assets, or military installations and 101
163	163	identification of the owners and operators of such critical 102
164	164	infrastructure would defeat the purpose of such information 103
165	165	being protected from disclosure. The ability of the council to 104
166	166	discuss matters of state and national security is beneficial in 105
167	167	the formulation of policy to protect critical infrastructure, 106
168	168	state assets, and military installations. 107
169	169	Section 3. This act shall take effect on the same day that 108
170	170	HB 925 or similar legislation takes effect , if such legislation 109
171	171	is adopted in the same legislative session or an extension 110
