Click to open document 05/24/2019 ORDER-OTHER SUBSTANTIVE The Chair of the Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules and Policy is hereby directed to file a supplemental report addressing the Court's authority to adopt proposed new rule 15.350 (Confidentiality). The report should specifically explain the assertion on page 13 of the amended petition that the proposed rule "compl[ies] with legal requirements regarding the confidentiality of records." See In re Amends. to Fla. Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators, 202 So. 3d 795, 803 (Fla. 2016) (amending mediator confidentiality rule, as proposed by the ADRR&P Committee, to make rule consistent with version of rule adopted prior to the adoption of article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution); In re Amends. to Fla. Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators, No. SC15-875, 27 (Fla. petition filed May 7, 2015) (recognizing that "only the legislature may create new exemptions to access to public records after November 1992 [adoption of article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution]"); In re Amends. to Fla. Jud. Qualifications Comm'n Rules, 252 So. 3d 733, 736 (Fla. 2018) (repealing JQC confidentiality rule that purported to grant Commission authority to designate certain filings in this Court confidential and recognizing that the Commission did not have authority to adopt such a rule and that this Court cannot adopt rules creating new public records exemptions, only the Legislature has authority to create new exemptions); In re Amends. to Fla. Rules of Crim. Pro., 188 So. 3d 764, 768 (Fla. 2015) (refusing to adopt proposed rule amendments that would make jury questionnaires confidential because "[the] Court cannot make judicial branch records confidential and exempt from public access by rule adopted after the 1992 adoption of article I, section 24, of the Florida Constitution"); In re Amends. to Fla. R. Jud. Admin.-Public Access to Judicial Records, 608 So. 2d 472, 473 (Fla. 1992) (recognizing that proposed Sunshine Amendment to the Florida Constitution, providing that all records of the judicial branch shall be public except those exempted by court rule in effect on the date of adoption of the amendment or those exempted by the Legislature, will prohibit the Court from later enacting rules that would exempt any other records); but see Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.420(c)(3)(B) (listing as confidential complaints alleging misconduct against individuals regulated by the courts); see also In re Amends. to Fla. Jud. Qualifications Comm'n Rules, 252 So. 3d 733, 735; In re Implementation of Comm'n on Privacy & Court Records Recommendations, 78 So. 3d 1045, 1049-50 (Fla. 2011) (explaining that Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.425 provides the procedures for minimizing the amount of sensitive personal information included in documents being filed with the court and that information in a document can only be protected from public access after the document is filed if the information is confidential under rule 2.420). The Chair is allowed to and including June 27, 2019, in which to file the supplemental report.
