Florida Privacy Restoration Act

Florida Privacy Restoration Act The FPRA amends the FL Constitution to safeguard informational privacy and to protect against governmental collection and/or disclosure of information.

The goal of the Florida Privacy Restoration Act s to restore the original intent of the drafters and framers of Florida’s Privacy Amendment and the people who adopted it – to safeguard informational privacy and to protect against the collection and/or disclosure of information by the government. In the 37 years since the adoption of the original privacy clause, the Florida Supreme Court has cited

Article 1, Sec 23 in 52 cases. Only 23 of those cases dealt with the issue of informational privacy and in only one of those cases did the court rule in favor of the litigant and find a right to informational privacy. The rapid growth of the invasion of individual privacy through various forms of surveillance and the monitoring of personal electronic devices warrants the court’s focused attention on this growing problem, which is one of widespread public concern. The FPRA protects Floridians against governmental intrusion into a person’s private life in two ways: 1) by restricting the government’s ability to collect personal and private information and 2) by restricting governmental disclosure of such information.
