13 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
14 On page 2, line 22, through
15 page 3, line 31, delete those lines
16
17 insert: Florida Statutes, and shall stand repealed on October
18 2, 2006, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through
19 reenactment by the Legislature.
20 Section 2. The Legislature finds that it is a public
21 necessity that all identifying information concerning
22 applicants for and recipients of child support services which
23 is in the possession of any non-Title IV-D county child
24 support enforcement agency be held confidential and exempt.
25 The Legislature recognizes that all persons served by a
26 non-Title IV-D county child support enforcement agency are
27 eligible to receive services from the Department of Revenue,
28 the state's Title IV-D agency. The Legislature further
29 recognizes that information concerning applicants for and
30 recipients of child support services who are served by a
31 non-Title IV-D county child support enforcement agency would

1 otherwise be confidential and exempt from disclosure pursuant
2 to section 409.2579, Florida Statutes, if served by the
3 Department of Revenue. Therefore, because provision of child
4 support services by a non-Title IV-D county child support
5 enforcement agency provides a useful and appropriate
6 alternative to the child support services provided by the
7 state, the Legislature finds that persons served by a
8 non-Title IV-D county child support enforcement agency should
9 be entitled to disclosure protections similar to those
10 afforded to persons receiving child support services from the
11 state. Additionally, the Legislature finds that many of the
12 child support enforcement cases handled by a non-Title IV-D
13 county child support enforcement agency are also domestic
14 violence cases. In such cases, agency clients have been
15 subjected to domestic violence or abuse and fear for their
16 lives and those of their minor children. The Legislature
17 further finds that federal and state law currently prohibit
18 the disclosure of information concerning clients served by the
19 Title IV-D cases when a protective order has been issued or
20 the Title IV-D agency has reason to believe that disclosure of
21 information may result in physical or emotional harm to the
22 client or child, and the Legislature wishes to extend similar
23 protections to the clients of non-Title IV-D county child
24 support enforcement agencies. Therefore, the Legislature
25 determines that any benefit that could occur from public
26 disclosure of the information concerning applicants for or
27 recipients of child support services from non-Title IV-D
28 county child support enforcement
