5 records held on or after the effective date of this exemption.
6 2. This paragraph is subject to the Open Government Sunset
7 Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15 and shall stand repealed
8 on October 2, 2025, unless reviewed and saved from repeal
9 through reenactment by the Legislature.
10 (d)1. Electronic mail E-mail addresses and cellular
11 telephone numbers collected by the Department of Highway Safety
12 and Motor Vehicles or its agent tax collectors pursuant to
13 chapter 319, chapter 320, chapter 322, chapter 324, or chapter
14 328 s. 319.40(3), s. 320.95(2), or s. 322.08(9) are exempt from
15 s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.
16 This exemption applies to electronic mail addresses and cellular
17 telephone numbers held before, on, or after the effective date
18 of this exemption retroactively.
19 2. The department shall disclose such electronic mail
20 addresses or cellular telephone numbers to its tax collector
21 agents to send electronic communications to such electronic mail
22 addresses or cellular telephone numbers for the purpose of
23 providing information, including, but not limited to, the
24 issuance of titles, registrations, disabled parking permits,
25 driver licenses, and identification cards; renewal notices; or
26 the tax collector’s office locations, hours of operation,
27 contact information, driving skills testing locations,
28 appointment scheduling information, or website information.
29 3. This paragraph is subject to the Open Government Sunset
30 Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15 and shall stand repealed
31 on October 2, 2025 2020, unless reviewed and saved from repeal
32 through reenactment by the Legislature.
33 (e)(d)1. Emergency contact information contained in a motor
34 vehicle record is confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and
35 s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.
36 2. Without the express consent of the person to whom such
37 emergency contact information applies, the emergency contact
38 information contained in a motor vehicle record may be released
39 only to law enforcement agencies for purposes of contacting
40 those listed in the event of an emergency.
41 Section 2. (1) The Legislature finds that it is a public
42 necessity that personal information, including highly restricted
43 personal information, contained in any record that pertains to a
44 vessel title or vessel registration issued by the Department of
45 Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles be made confidential and
46 exempt from s. 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, and s. 24(a),
47 Article I of the State Constitution. Motorist personal
48 information, when held by the Department of Highway Safety and
49 Motor Vehicles in motor vehicle records, is confidential
50 pursuant to the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994, 18
51 U.S.C. ss. 2721 et seq., and s. 119.0712(2), Florida Statutes.
52 These restrictions on the disclosure of motorist personal
53 information do not apply to vessel titles or vessel
54 registrations. Because the personal information in vessel
55 records comprises much of the same information contained in
56 motor vehicle records, when personal information revealed in
57 vessel records is made available to the public, the protections
58 afforded by the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994, 18
59 U.S.C. ss. 2721 et seq., are significantly undermined, eroding
60 the privacy and safety of motorists. Therefore, the Legislature
61 finds that it is a public necessity to make personal information
62 contained in such vessel records confidential and exempt from
63 public records requirements.
64 (2) The Legislature finds that it is a public necessity
65 that electronic mail addresses and cellular telephone numbers
66 collected by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
67 and its tax collector agents pursuant to chapter 319, chapter
68 320, chapter 322, chapter 324, or chapter 328, Florida Statutes,
69 be made confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1), Florida
70 Statutes, and section 24(a), Article I of the State
71 Constitution. In order to communicate more effectively with
72 motorists through enhancements in information technology,
73 including efforts of the Motorist Modernization project, the
74 Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles seeks to
75 increase communications with motorists through electronic mail
76 and text messaging. If the electronic mail addresses or cellular
77 telephone numbers of motorists are made available to the public,
78 the impact on motorist privacy and risk of unsolicited
79 commercial solicitation by electronic mail or text message would
80 have an undesirable chilling effect on motorists’ voluntary use
81 of electronic portals to communicate with the department,
82 thereby undermining the effective use of these enhancements in
83 information technology. Therefore, the Legislature finds that it
84 is a public necessity to make such electronic mail addresses and
85 cellular telephone numbers
