Report Summary

While the Department of State sets policy for managing electronic records, state agencies use a wide range of approaches to implement these policies. To improve electronic records management, we recommend that the Legislature and state agencies take the steps below.

  • The Department of State should collect additional information on state agencies' current electronic records management practices and use the information to develop a statewide strategic plan.
  • The Legislature could consider updating Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, to establish a uniform fee policy for copies of electronic public records.
