| Florida has strong laws regarding public records (Statutes 119) and
open meetings (Statute 286). We group these two statutes together and call these The
Sunshine Laws.

| Questions to ponder:
|
1. Is a computer file the same as a piece of paper? In other words, can
one replace the other as a complete record? Or is an electronic record, a
WORD document, for instance, a unique record because it contains an audit trail,
fingerprints of creation, modifications and users? Perhaps the public
records laws need an update to include new technologies?
