16  and insert:

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

18  121.4501, Florida Statutes, to read:

19         121.4501  Public Employee Optional Retirement

20  Program.--

21         (19)  PARTICIPANT RECORDS.--All personal identifying

22  information regarding a participant in the Public Employee

23  Optional Retirement Program contained in Florida Retirement

24  System records held by the State Board of Administration or

25  the Department of Management Services, or their agents,

26  employees, or contractors are exempt from the provisions of s.

27  119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.  The

28  department or board may use such exempt information as

29  necessary in any legal or administrative proceeding.  This

30  subsection is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act

31  of 1995 in accordance with s. 119.15, and shall stand repealed

                                                   HOUSE AMENDMENT

                                                   Bill No. HB 935

    Amendment No. ___ (for drafter's use only)





  1  October 2, 2007, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through

  2  reenactment by the Legislature.

  3         Section 2.  The Legislature finds that it is a public

  4  necessity that such identifying information be made exempt

  5  because release of this information would allow investment

  6  providers who are not approved Public Employee Optional

  7  Retirement Program providers to contact program participants

  8  in order to offer unapproved investment products. This would

  9  be very confusing to program participants because there are

10  already a number of choices to be made in this area. Also, if

11  identifying information is released then anyone could find out

12  how much money a participant had with an investment provider

13  and in a particular investment product.  Release of this

14  information would also allow competing approved providers to

15  contact the participants. Release of this information to

16  approved or unapproved providers could prove detrimental to

17  the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the agency's

18  administration of the program. Additionally, this exemption is

19  narrow in that it allows access to information regarding the

20  providers and products that are being selected by program

21  participants and the amount of money invested in those

22  products, but does so without revealing the identity of the

23  individual participant.

24         Section 3.  This act shall take effect upon becoming

25  law.
