Re: Laws Relating to Governor's Papers



Florida's State Constitution, Article I, Section 24, Access to Public
Records and Meetings, subsection (a), reads:

"Every person has the right to inspect or copy any public record made or
received in connection with the official business of any public body,
officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf, except
with respect to records exempted pursuant to this section or specifically
made confidential by this Constitution. This section specifically includes
the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and each
agency or department created thereunder; counties, municipalities, and
districts; and each constitutional officer, board, and
commission, or entity created pursuant to law or this Constitution."

Fellow Archivists: Is anyone aware of laws anywhere in the country that
relate to the papers of a governor? Governor's pretty much have free reign
over their papers, don't they? Do any States have something equivalent to
the Presidential Records Act?  Thank you for your thoughts.
