We believe the timely response to public records requests promotes trust between our office and the public. We adhere to the Florida Public Records Law, Ch. 119, F.S. and to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.420(m) for access to court records.   The law provides a right of access to the records of the state and local governments as well as to private entities acting on their behalf. In the absence of a statutory exemption, this right of access applies to all materials made or received by an agency in connection with the transaction of official business which are used to perpetuate, communicate or formalize knowledge.
