763Statutes, and amended to read:
764     119.071  General exemptions from inspection or copying of
765public records.--
766     (5)  OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION.--
767     (a)1.  The Legislature acknowledges that the social
768security number was never intended to be used for business
769purposes but was intended to be used solely for the
770administration of the federal Social Security System. The
771Legislature is further aware that over time this unique numeric
772identifier has been used extensively for identity verification
773purposes and other legitimate consensual purposes. The
774Legislature is also cognizant of the fact that the social
775security number can be used as a tool to perpetuate fraud
776against a person and to acquire sensitive personal, financial,
777medical, and familial information, the release of which could
778cause great financial or personal harm to an individual. The
779Legislature intends to monitor the commercial use of social
780security numbers held by state agencies in order to maintain a
781balanced public policy.
782     2.  An agency shall not collect an individual's social
783security number unless authorized by law to do so or unless the
784collection of the social security number is otherwise imperative
785for the performance of that agency's duties and responsibilities
786as prescribed by law. Social security numbers collected by an
787agency must be relevant to the purpose for which collected and
788shall not be collected until and unless the need for social
789security numbers has been clearly documented. An agency that
790collects social security numbers shall also segregate that
791number on a separate page from the rest of the record, or as
792otherwise appropriate, in order that the social security number
793be more easily redacted, if required, pursuant to a public
794records request. An agency collecting a person's social security
795number shall, upon that person's request, at the time of or
796prior to the actual collection of the social security number by
797that agency, provide that person with a statement of the purpose
798or purposes for which the social security number is being
799collected and used. Social security numbers collected by an
800agency shall not be used by that agency for any purpose other
801than the purpose stated. Social security numbers collected by an
802agency prior to May 13, 2002, shall be reviewed for compliance
803with this subparagraph. If the collection of a social security
804number prior to May 13, 2002, is found to be unwarranted, the
805agency shall immediately discontinue the collection of social
806security numbers for that purpose.
807     3.(1)  Effective October 1, 2002, all social security
808numbers held by an agency or its agents, employees, or
809contractors are confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s.
81024(a), Art. I of the State Constitution. This exemption applies
811to all social security numbers held by an agency and its agents,
812employees, or contractors before, on, or after the effective
813date of this exemption.
814     4.(2)  Social security numbers may be disclosed to another
815governmental entity or its agents, employees, or contractors if
816disclosure is necessary for the receiving entity to perform its
817duties and responsibilities. The receiving governmental entity
818and its agents, employees, and contractors shall maintain the
819confidential and exempt status of such numbers.
820     5.(3)  An agency shall not deny a commercial entity engaged
821in the performance of a commercial activity as defined in s.
82214.203 or its agents, employees, or contractors access to social
823security numbers, provided the social security numbers will be
824used only in the normal course of business for legitimate
825business purposes, and provided the commercial entity makes a
826written request for social security numbers, verified as
827provided in s. 92.525, legibly signed by an authorized officer,
828employee, or agent of the commercial entity.  The verified
829written request must contain the commercial entity's name,
830business mailing and location addresses, business telephone
831number, and a statement of the specific purposes for which it
832needs the social security numbers and how the social security
833numbers will be used in the normal course of business for
834legitimate business purposes. The aggregate of these requests
835shall serve as the basis for the agency report required in
836subparagraph 8. subsection (7).  An agency may request any other
837information as may be reasonably necessary to verify the
838identity of the entity requesting the social security numbers
839and the specific purposes for which such numbers will be used;
840however, an agency has no duty to inquire beyond the information
841contained in the verified written request. A legitimate business
842purpose includes verification of the accuracy of personal
843information received by a commercial entity in the normal course
844of its business; use in a civil, criminal, or administrative
845proceeding; use for insurance purposes; use in law enforcement
846and investigation of crimes; use in identifying and preventing
847fraud; use in matching, verifying, or retrieving information;
848and use in research activities. A legitimate business purpose
849does not include the display or bulk sale of social security
850numbers to the general public or the distribution of such
851numbers to any customer that is not identifiable by the
852distributor.
853     6.(4)  Any person who makes a false representation in order
854to obtain a social security number pursuant to this paragraph
855section, or any person who willfully and knowingly violates the
856provisions of this paragraph section, commits a felony of the
857third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.

988     (7)  The Legislature acknowledges that the social security
989number was never intended to be used for business purposes but

992that over time this unique numeric identifier has been used
993extensively for identity verification purposes and other
994legitimate consensual purposes. The Legislature is also
995cognizant of the fact that the social security number can be
996used as a tool to perpetuate fraud against a person and to
997acquire sensitive personal, financial, medical, and familial
998information, the release of which could cause great financial or
999personal harm to an individual. The Legislature intends to
1000monitor the commercial use of social security numbers held by

1003security number unless authorized by law to do so or unless the

1006as prescribed by law. Social security numbers collected by an
1007agency must be relevant to the purpose for which collected and
1008shall not be collected until and unless the need for social
1009security numbers has been clearly documented. An agency that
1010collects social security numbers shall also segregate that
1011number on a separate page from the rest of the record, or as
1012otherwise appropriate, in order that the social security number
1013be more easily redacted, if required, pursuant to a public
1014records request. An agency collecting a person's social security
1015number shall, upon that person's request, at the time of or
1016prior to the actual collection of the social security number by
1017that agency, provide that person with a statement of the purpose
1018or purposes for which the social security number is being
1019collected and used. Social security numbers collected by an
1020agency shall not be used by that agency for any purpose other
1021than the purpose stated. Social security numbers collected by an
1022agency prior to May 13, 2002, shall be reviewed for compliance
1023with this subsection. If the collection of a social security
1024number prior to May 13, 2002, is found to be unwarranted, the
1025agency shall immediately discontinue the collection of social
1026security numbers for that purpose.

1028for an order directing compliance with this paragraph section.

1448paragraph, the term "unit of local government" means a county,
1449municipality, special district, local agency, authority,
1450consolidated city-county government, or any other local
1451governmental body or public body corporate or politic authorized
1452or created by general or special law.  An audit becomes final
1453when the audit report is presented to the unit of local
1454government.  Audit workpapers and notes related to such audit
1455report are confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) the
1456provisions of subsection (1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
1457Constitution until the audit is completed and the audit report

1476     Section 37.  Section 119.15, Florida Statutes, is amended
1477to read:
1478     119.15  Legislative review of exemptions from public
1479meeting and public records requirements.--
1480     (1)  This section may be cited as the "Open Government
1481Sunset Review Act of 1995."
1482     (2)  This section provides for the review and repeal or
1483reenactment of an exemption from s. 24, Art. I of the State
1484Constitution and s. automatic application of the policy of open
1485government as provided in ss. 119.01 and 286.011 to certain
1486exemptions from ss. 119.07(1) or s. and 286.011.  This act does
1487not apply to an exemption that:
1488     (a)  Is required by federal law; or
1489     (b)  Applies solely to the Legislature or the State Court
1490System. It is the intent of the Legislature that exemptions to
1491ss. 119.07(1) and 286.011 shall be created or maintained only
1492if:
1493     (a)  The exempted record or meeting is of a sensitive,
1494personal nature concerning individuals;
1495     (b)  The exemption is necessary for the effective and
1496efficient administration of a governmental program; or
1497     (c)  The exemption affects confidential information
1498concerning an entity.
1499
1500Thus, the maintenance or creation of an exemption must be
1501compelled as measured by these criteria.  Further, the
1502Legislature finds that the public has a right to have access to
1503executive branch governmental meetings and records unless the
1504criteria in this section for restricting such access to a public
1505meeting or public record are met and the criteria are considered
1506during legislative review in connection with the particular
1507exemption to be significant enough to override the strong public
1508policy of open government. To strengthen the policy of open
1509government, the Legislature shall consider the criteria in this
1510section before enacting future exemptions.
1511     (3)(a)  In the 5th year after enactment of a new exemption
1512or substantial amendment of an existing exemption, the exemption
1513shall be repealed repeal on October 2nd of the 5th year, unless
1514the Legislature acts to reenact the exemption.
1515     (4)(a)  A law that enacts a new exemption or substantially
1516amends an existing exemption must state that the record or
1517meeting is:

1519     2.  Exempt from s. 119.07(1) or s. 286.011; and
1520     3.  State that the exemption is Repealed at the end of 5
1521years and that the exemption must be reviewed by the Legislature
1522before the scheduled repeal date.
1523     (b)  For purposes of this section, an exemption is
1524substantially amended if the amendment expands the scope of the
1525exemption to include more records or information or to include
1526meetings as well as records.  An exemption is not substantially
1527amended if the amendment narrows the scope of the exemption.
1528     (c)  This section is not intended to repeal an exemption
1529that has been amended following legislative review before the
1530scheduled repeal of the exemption if the exemption is not
1531substantially amended as a result of the review.
1532     (5)(d)  By June 1 in the year before the repeal of an
1533exemption under this section, the Division of Statutory Revision
1534of the Office of Legislative Services shall certify to the
1535President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
1536Representatives, by June 1, the language and statutory citation
1537of each exemption scheduled for repeal the following year which
1538meets the criteria of an exemption as defined in this section.
1539     (b)  Any exemption that is not identified and certified to
1540the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
1541Representatives is not subject to legislative review and repeal
1542under this section.  If the division fails to certify an
1543exemption that it subsequently determines should have been
1544certified, it shall include the exemption in the following
1545year's certification after that determination.
1546     (e)  The term "exemption" means a provision of the Florida
1547Statutes which creates an exception to s. 119.07(1) or s.
1548286.011 and which applies to the executive branch of state
1549government or to local government, but it does not include any
1550provision of a special law or local law.
1551     (f)  An exemption that is required by federal law is not
1552subject to repeal under this section.
1553     (g)  An exemption that applies solely to the Legislature or
1554the State Court System is not subject to repeal under this
1555section.
1556     (6)(4)(a)  The Legislature shall review the exemption
1557before its scheduled repeal and consider As part of the review
1558process, the Legislature shall consider the following:
1559     1.  What specific records or meetings are affected by the
1560exemption?
1561     2.  Whom does the exemption uniquely affect, as opposed to
1562the general public?
1563     3.  What is the identifiable public purpose or goal of the
1564exemption?
1565     4.  Can the information contained in the records or
1566discussed in the meeting be readily obtained by alternative
1567means? If so, how?
1568     5.  Is the record or meeting protected by another
1569exemption?
1570     6.  Are there multiple exemptions for the same type of
1571record or meeting that it would be appropriate to merge?
1572     (b)  An exemption may be created, revised, or maintained
1573only if it serves an identifiable public purpose, and the
1574exemption may be no broader than is necessary to meet the public
1575purpose it serves.  An identifiable public purpose is served if
1576the exemption meets one of the following purposes and the
1577Legislature finds that the purpose is sufficiently compelling to
1578override the strong public policy of open government and cannot
1579be accomplished without the exemption:
1580     1.  Allows the state or its political subdivisions to
1581effectively and efficiently administer a governmental program,
1582which administration would be significantly impaired without the
1583exemption;
1584     2.  Protects information of a sensitive personal nature
1585concerning individuals, the release of which information would
1586be defamatory to such individuals or cause unwarranted damage to
1587the good name or reputation of such individuals or would
1588jeopardize the safety of such individuals. However, in
1589exemptions under this subparagraph, only information that would
1590identify the individuals may be exempted; or
1591     3.  Protects information of a confidential nature
1592concerning entities, including, but not limited to, a formula,
1593pattern, device, combination of devices, or compilation of
1594information which is used to protect or further a business
1595advantage over those who do not know or use it, the disclosure
1596of which information would injure the affected entity in the
1597marketplace.
1598     (7)(c)  Records made before the date of a repeal of an
1599exemption under this section may not be made public unless
1600otherwise provided by law.  In deciding whether the records
1601shall be made public, the Legislature shall consider whether the
1602damage or loss to persons or entities uniquely affected by the
1603exemption of the type specified in subparagraph (6)(b)2. (b)2.
1604or subparagraph (6)(b)3. (b)3. would occur if the records were
1605made public.
1606     (d)  An exemption that is created or revived and reenacted
1607must contain uniform language that clearly states the section in
1608the Florida Statutes from which it is exempt, s. 119.07(1) or s.
1609286.011.  The uniform language must also provide for the maximum
1610public access to the meetings and records as is consistent with
1611the purpose of the exemption.  An exemption that is created or
1612substantially amended must state that the exemption is repealed
1613at the end of 5 years and that the exemption must be reviewed by
1614the Legislature before the scheduled date of repeal.
1615     (8)(e)  Notwithstanding s. 768.28 or any other law, neither
1616the state or its political subdivisions nor any other public
1617body shall be made party to any suit in any court or incur any
1618liability for the repeal or revival and reenactment of an
1619exemption under this section.  The failure of the Legislature to
1620comply strictly with this section does not invalidate an
1621otherwise valid reenactment.
1622     Section 38.  Paragraph (w) of subsection (6) of section
1623119.07, Florida Statutes, is transferred, redesignated as
1624section 112.31891, Florida Statutes, and amended to read:

1649the integrity of the investigation or avoid unwarranted damage
1650to an individual's good name or reputation.  The certification
1651must shall specify the nature and purpose of the investigation
1652and shall be kept with the exempt records and made public when
1653the records are made public.

1847subject matter of a capital postconviction claim or are
1848reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
1849evidence in the prosecution of such claim. The affiant shall
1850provide a copy of the affidavit to all affected agencies upon
1851the filing of such affidavit in the trial court.
1852     (c)  Within 15 days after the filing of an affidavit, the

1867supplies, and any necessary equipment used by the capital
1868collateral regional counsel or private counsel to copy records

1871under this section, unless the appellate court has exclusive
1872jurisdiction.
1873     (11)  The capital collateral regional counsel or private
1874counsel shall not solicit another person to make a request for

2084support, and shall make such information available to the
2085Department of Children and Family Services for the purpose of
