Amendment No.
1 agency as defined in section 119.011(2), Florida Statutes,
2 relating directly to, or which would reveal confidential and
3 exempt information set forth in rule relating solely to, the
4 blueprints of an educational facility are confidential and
5 exempt from section 286.011, Florida Statutes, and Section
6 24(b), Article I of the State Constitution. An agency as
7 defined in section 119.011(2), Florida Statutes, may hold
8 public meetings to discuss nonconfidential information or
9 issues relating to these blueprints.
10 (3) The Department of Education shall prescribe by
11 rule the information relating to the blueprints of an
12 educational facility, as defined in section 235.011(6),
13 Florida Statutes, which is confidential and exempt from the
14 provisions of section 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, and Section
15 24(a), Article I of the State Constitution. To be
16 confidential, the information must be necessary to the
17 security and integrity of the educational facility. A law
18 enforcement officer, an emergency medical services provider,
19 an authorized agent or employee of the educational facility, a
20 parent or guardian, and a person who is involved in the
21 planning, design, site improvement, construction, contracting,
22 remodeling, renovation, maintenance, and repair of plants and
23 facilities, including ancillary and auxiliary facilities, has
24 a bona-fide need to know such information. The department
25 shall also prescribe by rule which persons have a bona-fide
26 need to know this information in order to carry out their
27 duties.
28 (4) Confidential and exempt information may be
29 released to and used by other governmental entities as needed
30 in connection with the performance of their duties. Any such
31 information that is confidential and exempt as provided for in

SENATE AMENDMENT
Bill No. CS for SB 1002
Amendment No.
1 this section retains its status as confidential and exempt.
2 Section 2. The Legislature finds that the exemption
3 from the public records law provided in section 1 of this act
4 is a public necessity and that the protection of students and
5 others in schools and community colleges is a critical state
6 concern. Furthermore, the Legislature finds that failure to
7 protect the confidentiality of a blueprint of an educational
8 facility submitted to or collected by law enforcement
9 personnel, the Department of Education, or the State Board of
10 Education under Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute
11 for Committee Substitute for Senate Bills 852, 2, and 46, 2000
12 Regular Session, would impede the safety and security of
13 schools, community colleges, students, and others. The
14 Legislature further finds that incidents may occur in which
15 blueprints of educational facilities are requested under
16 circumstances that could threaten the safety or welfare of
17 students, employees, and others whether or not actual harm
18 results. Because release of certain portions of facility
19 blueprints under these circumstances would not benefit the
20 public or aid it in monitoring the effective and efficient
21 operation of government but could result in harm to students,
22 employees, and others, the Legislature finds that it is
23 necessary that portions of blueprints be confidential and
24 exempt.
25 Section 3. This act shall take effect on the effective
26 date of Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for
27 Committee Substitute for Senate Bills 852, 2, and 46, 2000
28 Regular Session, or similar legislation relating to
29 educational facilities, and shall not take effect if that
30 legislation does not become law.
