Section 2. The Legislature finds that it is a public 402
necessity that the home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of 403
birth, and photographs of current clerks of the circuit court, 404
deputy clerks of the circuit court, and clerk of the cir cuit 405
court personnel; the names, home addresses, telephone numbers, 406
dates of birth, and places of employment of the spouses and 407
children of current clerks of the circuit court, deputy clerks 408
of the circuit court, and clerk of the circuit court personnel; 409
and the names and locations of schools and day care facilities 410
attended by the children of current clerks of the circuit court, 411
deputy clerks of the circuit court, and clerk of the circuit 412
court personnel be made exempt from s. 119.07(1), Florida 413
Statutes, and s. 24(a), Article I of the State Constitution. The 414
responsibilities of clerks of the circuit court, deputy clerks 415
of the circuit court, and clerk of the circuit court personnel 416
regularly include involvement in legal enforcement, divorce, and 417
child support proceedings and, as a result, clerks of the 418
circuit court, deputy clerks of the circuit court, and clerk of 419
the circuit court personnel have received death threats, 420
harassing telephone calls and e -mails, and threats of physical 421
violence from disgruntle d individuals. The Legislature finds 422
that the release of such personal identifying and location 423
information may place clerks of the circuit court, deputy clerks 424
of the circuit court, and clerk of the circuit court personnel 425

The Legislature finds that the harm that may result from the 427
release of such personal identifying and location information 428
outweighs any public benefit that may be derived from the 429
disclosure of the information. 430
