    4  and insert:
    5         m. The home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth,
    6  and photographs of current or former personnel of the Department
    7  of Health whose duties include, or result in, the determination
    8  or adjudication of eligibility for social security disability
    9  benefits, the investigation or prosecution of complaints filed
   10  against health care practitioners, or the inspection of health
   11  care practitioners or health care facilities licensed by the
   12  Department of Health; the names, home addresses, telephone
   13  numbers, dates of birth, and places of employment of the spouses
   14  and children of such personnel; and the names and locations of
   15  schools and day care facilities attended by the children of such
   16  personnel are exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of
   17  the State Constitution if the personnel have made reasonable
   18  efforts to protect such information from being accessible
   19  through other means available to the public. This sub
   20  subparagraph is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act
   21  in accordance with s. 119.15 and shall stand repealed on October
   22  2, 2019, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through
   23  reenactment by the Legislature.
   24         3. An agency that is the custodian of the information
   25  specified in subparagraph 2. and that is not the employer of the
   26  officer, employee, justice, judge, or other person specified in
   27  subparagraph 2. shall maintain the exempt status of that
   28  information only if the officer, employee, justice, judge, other
   29  person, or employing agency of the designated employee submits a
   30  written request for maintenance of the exemption to the
   31  custodial agency.
   32         4. The exemptions in this paragraph apply to information
   33  held by an agency before, on, or after the effective date of the
   34  exemption.
   35         5. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
   36  paragraph, this paragraph is subject to the Open Government
   37  Sunset Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15, and shall stand
   38  repealed on October 2, 2017, unless reviewed and saved from
   39  repeal through reenactment by the Legislature.
   40         Section 2. The Legislature finds that it is a public
   41  necessity that the home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of
   42  birth, and photographs of current or former personnel of the
   43  Department of Health whose duties include, or result in, the
   44  determination or adjudication of eligibility for social security
   45  disability benefits, the investigation or prosecution of
   46  complaints filed against health care practitioners, or the
   47  inspection of health care practitioners or health care
   48  facilities licensed by the Department of Health; that the names,
   49  home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and places of
   50  employment of the spouses and children of such personnel; and
   51  that the names and locations of schools and day care facilities
   52  attended by the children of such personnel be made exempt from
   53  public record requirements. The Legislature finds that the
   54  release of such identifying and location information might place
   55  these current or former personnel of the Department of Health
   56  and their family members in danger of physical and emotional
   57  harm from disgruntled individuals who have contentious reactions
   58  to actions carried out by such personnel of the Department of
   59  Health, or whose business or professional practices have come
   60  under the scrutiny of investigators and inspectors of the
   61  Department of Health. The Legislature further finds that the
   62  harm that may
