 1         Section 3.  The Legislature finds that the exemption

 2  from public records requirements provided for by this act for

 3  the home addresses, telephone numbers, social security

 4  numbers, and photographs of active or former emergency medical

 5  technicians or paramedics certified in compliance with chapter

 6  401, Florida Statutes, the home addresses, telephone numbers,

 7  social security numbers, photographs, and places of employment

 8  of the spouses and the children of such emergency medical

 9  technicians and paramedics, and the names and locations of

10  schools and day care facilities attended by children of such

11  emergency medical technicians and paramedics is a public

12  necessity. This exemption is justified because if such

13  information were not confidential, an emergency medical

14  technician or paramedic or a member or members of his or her

15  family could be harmed or threatened with harm by an

16  individual, or a family member of such individual, who was

17  provided emergency medical care which resulted in a negative

18  outcome.

19         Section 4.  This act shall take effect upon becoming a

20  law.
