The Florida Senate

CS/SB 7020 — OGSR/Mobile Suspicious Activity Reporting Tool

by Governmental Oversight and Accountability Committee; Education Pre-K - 12 Committee; and Senator Collins

This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.

Prepared by: Education Pre-K -12 Committee (ED)

The bill saves from repeal the current exemption from public records disclosure requirements relating to the identity of the reporting party and any other information received through the mobile suspicious activity reporting tool and held by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, law enforcement agencies, or school officials.

The bill expands the exemption to make confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements the identity of the reporting party received through the mobile suspicious activity reporting tool and held by the Florida Department of Education (DOE), and to make exempt from public records disclosure requirements any other information received through the mobile suspicious activity reporting tool and held by the Florida DOE. This exemption includes records already held by the DOE.

If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect upon becoming law.

Vote: Senate 38-0; House 118-0
