  2         An act relating to public records; amending s.

  3         121.4501, F.S.; providing for an exception from

11  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:

12

13         Section 1.  Subsection (19) is added to section

14  121.4501, Florida Statutes, to read:

15         121.4501  Public Employee Optional Retirement

16  Program.--

17         (19)  PARTICIPANT RECORDS.--All records which identify

18  individual participants in the Florida Retirement System and

19  their account activities are exempt from the provisions of s.

20  119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution, and

21  shall be confidential to the extent such records need not be

22  revealed in the administration of the Florida Retirement

23  System pursuant to this chapter or in connection with a legal

24  or administrative proceeding.

25         Section 2.  The Legislature finds that the exemption

26  from pubic records requirements provided for in this act for

27  identifying individual participants in the Florida Retirement

28  System and their account activities within the Public Employee

29  Optional Retirement Program is a public necessity and that to

30  reveal such information would discourage participation in the

31  Public Employee Optional Retirement Program.
