815.05 Trade secret information--The Legislature finds that it is a public
necessity that trade secret information as defined in s. s 812.081,
812 081 and as
provided for in s. 815.04(3), be expressly made confidential and exempt from
the public records law because it is a felony to disclose such records. Due to the
legal uncertainty as to whether a public employee would be protected from a
felony conviction if otherwise complying with chapter 119, and with s. 24(a),
Art. I of the State Constitution, it is imperative that a public records exemption
be created. The Legislature in making disclosure of trade secrets a crime has
clearly established the importance attached to trade secret protection.
protection
Disclosing trade secrets in an agency's possession would negatively impact the
business interests of those providing an agency such trade secrets by damaging
them in the marketplace, and those entities and individuals disclosing such
trade secrets would hesitate to cooperate with that agency, which would impair
the effective and efficient administration of governmental functions. Thus, the
public and private harm in disclosing trade secrets significantly outweighs any

Section 1. What GPEA policies should agencies follow?
The Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) requires Federal
agencies, by October 21, 2003, to provide individuals or entities the option
to submit information or transact with the agency electronically and to
maintain records electronically when practicable.
practicable GPEA specifically states
that electronic records and their related electronic signatures are not to be
denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability merely because they are in
electronic form. It also encourages Federal government use of a range of
electronic signature alternatives.
Sections 1703 and 1705 of GPEA charge the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) with developing procedures for Executive agencies to follow in
using
i and d accepting
ti electronic
l t i d
documents t andd signatures,
i t iincluding
l di
records required to be maintained under Federal programs and
information that employers are required to store and file with Federal
agencies
g about their employees.
p y These p
procedures reflect and are to be
executed with due consideration of the following policies:

~ Section 2. What GPEA Procedures Should Agencies Follow?
• GPEA recognizes that building and deploying electronic systems to
complement and replace paper-based systems should be consistent with
the need to ensure that investments in information technology are
economicallyy p
prudent to accomplish
p the agency's
g y mission,, pprotect p
privacy,
y,
and ensure the security of the data. Moreover, a decision to reject the
option of electronic filing or record keeping should demonstrate, in the
context of a particular application and upon considering relative costs,
risks, and benefits given the level of sensitivity of the process, that there is
no reasonably cost-effective combination of technologies and management
controls that can be used to operate the transaction and sufficiently
minimize the risk of significant harm. Accordingly, agencies should
develop and implement plans,
plans supported by an assessment of whether to
use and accept documents in electronic form and to engage in electronic
transactions. The assessment should weigh costs and benefits and involve
an appropriate risk analysis, recognizing that low-risk information
processes may need d only
l minimal
i i l consideration,
id i while
hil hi
high-risk
h i k processes
may need extensive analysis.

• Performing the assessment to evaluate electronic signature alternatives should not
be viewed as an isolated activity or an end in itself. Agencies should draw from and
feed into the interrelated requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Privacy
Act, the Computer Security Act, the Government Performance and Results Act, the
Clinger-Cohen Act, the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act, the Federal
Records Act, and the Chief Financial Officers Act, as well as OMB Circular A-130 and
P id ti l D

• The assessment should develop strategies to mitigate risks and maximize benefits in
the context of available technologies, and the relative total costs and effects of
implementing those technologies on the program being analyzed. The assessment
