11  The Committee on Criminal Justice recommended the following

12  amendment:

14         Senate Amendment (with title amendment) 

15         On page 2, lines 5-8, delete those lines

17  and insert:  administering a lethal injection pursuant to s.

18  922.105.

19         Section 3.  The Legislature finds that the disclosure

20  of information identifying a person prescribing, preparing,

21  compounding, dispensing, or administering a lethal injection

22  for purposes of death sentence execution would jeopardize the

23  person's safety and welfare by exposing that person to

24  potential harassment, intimidation, and harm and would

25  constitute an unwarranted invasion into the person's privacy.

26  Therefore, the Legislature finds that it is a public necessity

27  that this information be kept confidential and exempt from

28  disclosure under public records laws.

29         Section 4.  This act shall take effect on the same date

30  that Senate Bill 6-A or similar legislation providing for

31  execution of the death sentence by lethal injection takes
