(1)  The department shall provide, through a toll-free telephone number, public access to information regarding sex offenders which is not confidential or exempt from public disclosure and which is reported to the department by the Department of Corrections as provided in s. 944.607 or by a sex offender as provided in s. 943.0435.

(3)  The department and its personnel are immune from civil liability for damages for good faith compliance with this section and shall be presumed to have acted in good faith by reporting information. The presumption of good faith is not overcome if technical or clerical errors are made by the department and its personnel in reporting the information, if the department and its personnel are unable to report information because the information has not been provided or reported by a person or agency required to provide or report the information to the department, or if the department and its personnel report information that was falsely reported without the knowledge of the department and its personnel.
