defined in s. 812.081 which resides or exists internal or external to a computer,

chapter 119 is confidential and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) and
s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.
(b) Whoever willfully, knowingly, and without authorization discloses or takes

History.--s. 1, ch. 78-92; s. 1, ch. 94-100; s. 431, ch. 96-406.
815.045 Trade secret information.
The Legislature finds that it is a public necessity that trade secret information as defined in s. 812.081, and as provided
for in s. 815.04(3), be expressly made confidential and exempt from the public
records law because it is a felony to disclose such records. Due to the legal
uncertainty as to whether a public employee would be protected from a felony
conviction if otherwise complying with chapter 119, and with s. 24(a), Art.
I of the State Constitution, it is imperative that a public records exemption
be created. The Legislature in making disclosure of trade secrets a crime has
clearly established the importance attached to trade secret protection. Disclosing
trade secrets in an agency's possession would negatively impact the business
interests of those providing an agency such trade secrets by damaging them in
the marketplace, and those entities and individuals disclosing such trade secrets
would hesitate to cooperate with that agency, which would impair the effective
and efficient administration of governmental functions. Thus, the public and
private harm in disclosing trade secrets significantly outweighs any public
benefit derived from disclosure, and the public's ability to scrutinize and
monitor agency action is not diminished by nondisclosure of trade secrets.
History.--s. 2, ch. 94-100.
Note.--Former s. 119.165.
