Summary

SB 1536, described by its sponsor as the "digital creeper bill," was presented to the Senate Criminal and Civil Justice Committee and reported favorably; the bill would amend the reasonable expectation of privacy in Florida statutes to include privately fenced yards.

The Senate Criminal and Civil Justice Committee on Monday reported SB 1536 favorably. Senator Pizzom, the sponsor, told the committee he seeks to "amend a reasonable expectation of privacy as it relates to digital voyeurism in Florida statutes to include a privately fenced yard," informally calling it the "digital creeper bill."

Senator Pizzom framed the change as extending existing statutory privacy protections to spaces such as a privately fenced yard. The clerk called the roll after a short presentation; Senators recorded voting "yes" included Senator Osgood, Senator Simon, Senator Yarbrough, Vice Chair Martin and Chair Garcia, and the committee reported SB 1536 favorably.

There were no extended debates or witness statements recorded on the bill in the committee transcript. SB 1536 will proceed in the Senate process as reported favorably by committee.
