the painful details? Or find out that your paycheck has been garnished? Or
get your credit card number?

criminal and civil cases on the Internet, thanks to a new computer system.

those kind of court documents online.

claims he misinterpreted the law. He is charged with a second-degree
misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to $500 in fines and a maximum of
60 days in jail if he is convicted.

Records stay open to public

Tallahassee -- At the end of the Legislature's 60-day session, Florida's
open records laws generally stayed that way.
Only one bill was sent to Gov. Jeb Bush that would significantly close the
public's access to information, an open government advocate said.
Under state law, there must be a proven necessity to keep records private --
a standard which several bills did not meet, said Barbara Petersen,
executive director of the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee.
''Going into this session, there were so many insidiously bad bills,'' she
said. ''But during the session, there was a sincere attempt to make sure
these bills were given serious constitutional scrutiny.''

Albany -- More than 90% of New Yorkers favor having access to doctors'
professional histories, but the leadership of the state Senate has failed to
deliver on a pledge to open up the records, a coalition of advocacy groups
charged yesterday.
The groups said the only known opposition to the legislation has been from
the New York State Medical Society, which represents doctors and is New
York's third-largest political action committee.

Beach schools seek authority to disclose personnel records
http://www.pilotonline.com/news/nw0511pol.html

by Alice Warchol
Virginia Beach -- School authorities are tired of saying, ``No comment.''
That's the standard reply to journalists when employees accused of
misconduct take their case to the public.
But not for much longer, if school leaders have their way.
Authorities want the right to disclose information contained in personnel
files so they can defend the school division when employees, or their
attorneys, tell their side of the story through TV broadcasts or a newspaper
story.

by Bruno Tedeschi
A coalition of public interest groups Wednesday urged the Legislature to
pass a bill that would greatly expand public access to state government
records.

public disclosure of information, had been expected to pass but was held up
in March after the state Attorney General's Office and university
administrators raised objections.

Officially, the Office of Management and Budget said it is remaining neutral
on the question of how best to ensure privacy and authenticity in electronic
transactions with the government.
