HOUSE AMENDMENT
Bill No. HB 2101
Amendment No. (for drafter's use only)
1 reenactment by the Legislature.
2 Section 2. The Legislature finds that it is a public
3 necessity that the home addresses and home telephone numbers
4 of nurses who work in any type of correctional facility,
5 including any prison or jail, or in any forensic facility, as
6 defined in s. 916.106(8), which are held by the Department of
7 Children and Family Services, the Department of Health, and
8 the Board of Nursing, be held confidential and exempt from
9 public records requirements because revealing such information
10 may pose an unnecessary risk to the safety and well-being of
11 such nurses in their own homes from inmates or clients of such
12 facilities who seek such information to stalk, intimidate,
13 harass, or otherwise threaten or harm such nurses. The
14 disclosure of such information may also deter nurses from
15 seeking to work in such facilities, which would be contrary to
16 the state's interest in ensuring the availability of nursing
17 services in such facilities.
18 Section 3. Section 455.5656, Florida Statutes, is
19 amended to read:
20 455.5656 Practitioner's profiles; confidentiality.--
21 (1) Any patient name or other information that
22 identifies a patient which is in a record obtained by the
23 Department of Health or its agent for the purpose of compiling
24 a practitioner profile is confidential and exempt from the
25 provisions of chapter 119 and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
26 Constitution. Other data received by the department or its
27 agent as a result of its duty to compile and promulgate
28 practitioner profiles are confidential and exempt from the
29 provisions of chapter 119 and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
30 Constitution until the profile into which the data are
31 incorporated or with respect to which the data are submitted
