211 1993, a local government may not require a commercial
212 establishment that generates source-separated recovered
213 materials to sell or otherwise convey its recovered materials to
214 the local government or to a facility designated by the local
215 government, nor may the local government restrict such a
216 generator’s right to sell or otherwise convey such recovered
217 materials to any properly certified recovered materials dealer
218 who has satisfied the requirements of this section. A local
219 government may not enact any ordinance that prevents such a
220 dealer from entering into a contract with a commercial
221 establishment to purchase, collect, transport, process, or
222 receive source-separated recovered materials.
223 (b)1. Before engaging in business within the jurisdiction
224 of the local government, a recovered materials dealer or
225 pyrolysis facility must provide the local government with a copy
226 of the certification provided for in this section. In addition,
227 the local government may establish a registration process
228 whereby a recovered materials dealer or pyrolysis facility must
229 register with the local government before engaging in business
230 within the jurisdiction of the local government. Such
231 registration process is limited to requiring the dealer or
232 pyrolysis facility to register its name, including the owner or
233 operator of the dealer or pyrolysis facility, and, if the dealer
234 or pyrolysis facility is a business entity, its general or
235 limited partners, its corporate officers and directors, its
236 permanent place of business, evidence of its certification under
237 this section, and a certification that the recovered materials
238 or post-use polymers will be processed at a recovered materials
239 processing facility or pyrolysis facility satisfying the
240 requirements of this section. The local government may not use
241 the information provided in the registration application to
242 compete unfairly with the recovered materials dealer until 90
243 days after receipt of the application. All counties, and
244 municipalities whose population exceeds 35,000 according to the
245 population estimates determined pursuant to s. 186.901, may
246 establish a reporting process that must be limited to the
247 regulations, reporting format, and reporting frequency
248 established by the department pursuant to this section, which
249 must, at a minimum, include requiring the dealer or pyrolysis
250 facility to identify the types and approximate amount of
251 recovered materials or post-use polymers collected, recycled, or
252 reused during the reporting period; the approximate percentage
253 of recovered materials or post-use polymers reused, stored, or
254 delivered to a recovered materials processing facility or
255 pyrolysis facility or disposed of in a solid waste disposal
256 facility; and the locations where any recovered materials or
257 post-use polymers were disposed of as solid waste. The local
258 government may charge the dealer or pyrolysis facility a
259 registration fee commensurate with and no greater than the cost
260 incurred by the local government in operating its registration
261 program. Registration program costs are limited to those costs
262 associated with the activities described in this paragraph
263 subparagraph. Any reporting or registration process established
264 by a local government with regard to recovered materials or
265 post-use polymers is governed by this section and department
266 rules adopted pursuant thereto.

514 Section 40. Subsection (1) of section 721.071, Florida
515 Statutes, is amended to read:
516 721.071 Trade secrets.—
517 (1) If a developer or any other person filing material with
518 the division pursuant to this chapter expects the division to
519 keep the material confidential on grounds that the material
520 constitutes a trade secret, as that term is defined in s.
521 812.081, the developer or other person shall file the material
522 together with an affidavit of confidentiality. “Filed material”
523 for purposes of this section shall mean material that is filed
524 with the division with the expectation that the material will be
525 kept confidential and that is accompanied by an affidavit of
526 confidentiality. Filed material that is trade secret information
527 includes, but is not limited to, service contracts relating to
528 the operation of reservation systems and those items and matters
529 described in s. 815.04(3).
530 Reviser’s note.—Amended to conform to the repeal of s. 815.04(3)
531 by this act.
532 Section 41. Section 815.045, Florida Statutes, is amended
533 to read:
534 815.045 Trade secret information.—The Legislature finds
535 that it is a public necessity that trade secret information as
536 defined in s. 812.081, and as provided for in s. 815.04(3), be
537 expressly made confidential and exempt from the public records
538 law because it is a felony to disclose such records. Due to the
539 legal uncertainty as to whether a public employee would be
540 protected from a felony conviction if otherwise complying with
541 chapter 119, and with s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
542 Constitution, it is imperative that a public records exemption
543 be created. The Legislature in making disclosure of trade
544 secrets a crime has clearly established the importance attached
545 to trade secret protection. Disclosing trade secrets in an
546 agency’s possession would negatively impact the business
547 interests of those providing an agency such trade secrets by
548 damaging them in the marketplace, and those entities and
549 individuals disclosing such trade secrets would hesitate to
550 cooperate with that agency, which would impair the effective and
551 efficient administration of governmental functions. Thus, the
552 public and private harm in disclosing trade secrets
553 significantly outweighs any public benefit derived from
554 disclosure, and the public’s ability to scrutinize and monitor
555 agency action is not diminished by nondisclosure of trade
556 secrets.
557 Reviser’s note.—Amended to conform to the repeal of s. 815.04(3)
558 by this act.
559 Section 42. Paragraphs (a) and (c) of subsection (3) of
560 section 921.0022, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
