The Palm Beach Post reports the bill would:
- Require government officials to get training in open records and meetings.
- Bar agencies from charging for copies of records that take less than 30 minutes to duplicate.
- Prohibit agencies from charging for redaction of information that is personal in nature and exempt from public records laws and prohibit charging for any redaction fees of any records after Jan. 1, 2013.
- Require that all new exemptions be reviewed every 10 years after the initial five-year-review currently required by state law.
- Set uniform penalties, and attorneys' fees, for public records violations.
- Give circuit court judges jurisdiction to issue injunctions to enforce open records laws.
