-
This report examines the major issues arising from the impact of information technology on the creation of government information and its storage, processing, and recordkeeping, based on information gathered through a literature search, several mailed questionnaires, and three public hearings. An outline of the background of the information policy debate in Florida includes: a brief history of public records law, general principles of access in Florida, definitions of public records, exemptions, content and format of access, the cost of access, and the enforcement of sanctions. Findings of the study are outlined in nine chapters: (1) Defining Reasonable Access; (2) Security Concerns; (3) Legal Issues Associated with Optical Storage; (4) Dissemination of Public Information; (5) Computer Software Issues; (6) Computer Matching; (7) Fair Information Practices; (8) Technological Impacts on Privacy; and (9) Records Management and Archival Concerns. Conclusions and recommendations for state information policy are outlined in the final section. Appended are the proposed information policy legislation, copies of the questionnaires used in the study, public hearing agendas, and laws and opinions related to the copyright of public software.
