17	Section 7. Effective January 1, 2004, if HB 987 or similar
18	legislation is adopted in the same legislative session or an
19	extension thereof and becomes a law, section 627.9742, Florida
20	Statutes, is created to read:
21	627.9742 Public records exemption for the Office of
22	Insurance Regulation.--Credit scoring methodologies and related
23	data and information that are trade secrets as defined in s.
24	688.002 and that are filed with the Office of Insurance
25	Regulation pursuant to a rate filing or other filing required by
26	law are confidential and exempt from the provisions of s.
27	119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.
28	Section 8. (1) Section 627.9742, Florida Statutes, is
29	subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act of 1995 in
30	accordance with s. 119.15, Florida Statutes, and shall stand
31	repealed on October 2, 2008, unless reviewed and saved from
32	repeal through reenactment by the Legislature.
33	(2) This section shall take effect January 1, 2004, if HB
34	987 or similar legislation is adopted in the same legislative
35	session or an extension thereof and becomes a law.
36	Section 9. (1) The Legislature finds that it is a public
37	necessity that credit scoring methodologies and related data and
38	information that are trade secrets, filed with the Office of
39	Insurance Regulation pursuant to a rate filing or other filing
40	required by law, be made confidential and exempt from public
41	records requirements. Such information could harm the business
42	of an insurance company, as it contains proprietary confidential
43	business information that has economic value derived from not
44	being disclosed to competitors. The Legislature further finds
45	that it is a public necessity to make such information
46	confidential and exempt from public disclosure because release
47	of such information would likely result in an insurer's not
48	providing the Office of Insurance Regulation with adequate
49	information on which to base a determination as to whether a
50	filing meets the requirements of law, resulting in increased
51	administrative and legal disputes with regard to the filing.
52	(2) This section shall take effect January 1, 2004, if HB
53	987 or similar legislation is adopted in the same legislative
54	session or an extension thereof and becomes a law.
55	Section 10. Except as otherwise provided herein, this act
56	shall take effect upon becoming a law.
