Services, is confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 62

(b) It is a public necessity that trade secrets or 127
personal financial information obtained by the office in the 128
course of an investigation or examination pursuant to chapter 129
560, Florida Statutes, be made confidential and exempt from s. 130

State Constitution, unless an administrative law judge or 132
circuit judge determines that the release of personal financial 133
information to the public is in the interest of justice. 134
(2) Information specified in subsection (1) is held by the 135
office in conjunction with its investigations and examinations 136
of money services businesses, which include virtual currency 137
kiosk businesses, as defined in s. 560.103, Florida Statutes, as 138
amended by chapter 2025-100, Laws of Florida. Virtual currency 139
kiosk businesses are thus subject to investigation or 140
examination by the office. As a result, the office may receive 141
sensitive personal and financial information relating to such 142
entities in conjunction with its duties under chapter 560, 143

provides the same protections to virtual currency kiosk 145

condition, including working papers, is necessary to ensure the 151
office's ability to effectively and efficiently administer its 152
examination and investigation duties. Examination and 153
investigation are essential components of financial institutions 154
regulation. They deter fraud and ensure the safety and soundness 155
of the financial system. Examinations and investigations also 156
provide a means of early detection of violations, allowing for 157
corrective action to be taken before any harm can be done. 158
Release of such information could compromise the office's 159
examinations or investigations, reveal investigative techniques, 160
or result in the disclosure of an individual's personal 161
financial information. Such disclosure could also result in the 162
release of inaccurate information, which could harm the subject 163
of the examination or investigation, or otherwise impair 164
commerce relating to money services businesses. The Legislature 165
finds that there is little public benefit derived from access to 166
such information during the office's examinations or 167
investigations, and that the exemption is narrowly tailored to 168
allow for release except where the public benefit is outweighed 169
by harm to either the office's investigations or examinations or 170

disclosed. 172

thereby preventing any disadvantage to these similarly regulated 370

the office will help increase premium collection, lower costs to 376

reduce the cost of administering these public programs. However, 378
the public availability of payment instrument transaction or 379

sensitive, personal financial information about payees and 381
conductors who use check-cashing and deferred presentment 382
programs, including paycheck amounts, salaries, and business 383
activities, as well as information regarding the financial 384
stability of these custodians. Such information is traditionally 385
private and sensitive. Protecting the confidentiality of such 386
information that would identify these payees and custodians 387
would provide adequate protection for these persons while still 388
providing public oversight of the check-cashing and deferred 389
presentment programs. The public release of payment instrument 390
transaction and deferred presentment transaction information 391
would also identify licensees or payors and reveal business 392
transaction information that is traditionally private and could 393

exemption for a trade secret held by the office in accordance 634
with its duties prescribed by chapter 655, Florida Statutes, 635
that trade secret becomes a public record when received and must 636

institutions, as authorized in s. 215.986(2)(e), Florida 676
Statutes, enacted in chapter 2025-100, Laws of Florida. As a 677
result, the office may receive sensitive personal and financial 678
information relating to such institutions in conjunction with 679
its duties under chapter 655, Florida Statutes. An exemption 680
from public records requirements provides the same protections 681
to custodians of gold coin or silver coin as are afforded to 682
other financial institutions, thereby preventing any 683
disadvantage to these similarly regulated entities in comparison 684
to other entities currently classified as financial 685
institutions. An exemption from public records requirements for 686
reports of examinations, operations, or condition, including 687
working papers, is necessary to ensure the office's ability to 688
effectively and efficiently administer its examination and 689
investigation duties. Examination and investigation are 690
essential components of financial institutions regulation. They 691
deter fraud and ensure the safety and soundness of the financial 692
system. Examinations also provide a means of early detection of 693
violations, allowing for corrective action to be taken before 694
any harm can be done. 695
(3) The Legislature finds that it is a public necessity to 696
make confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1), Florida 697
Statutes, and s. 24(a), Article I of the State Constitution 698
records and information relating to an investigation by the 699
Office of Financial Regulation; portions of records relating to 700

a completed or inactive investigation by the office which would 701
jeopardize the integrity of another active investigation, impair 702
the safety and soundness of the financial institution, reveal 703
personal financial information, reveal the identity of a 704
confidential source, defame or cause unwarranted damage to the 705
good name or reputation of an individual or jeopardize the 706
safety of an individual, or reveal investigative techniques or 707
procedures; reports of examinations, operations, or condition, 708
including working papers, or portions thereof, prepared by, or 709
for the use of, the office or any state or federal agency 710
responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial 711
institutions in this state, until 1 year after the appointment 712
of a liquidator; any portion of such reports which discloses the 713
identities of depositors, bondholders, members, borrowers, or 714
stockholders, other than directors, officers, or controlling 715
stockholders of the institution; trade secrets held by the 716
office in accordance with its statutory duties under chapter 717
655, Florida Statutes, unless an administrative law judge or 718
circuit judge determines that the release of personal financial 719
information to the public is in the interest of justice; and 720
materials supplied to the office or to employees of any 721
financial institution by other state or federal governmental 722
agencies. 723

examinations, reveal investigative techniques, result in the 726
disclosure of an individual's personal financial information, or 727
defame or cause unwarranted damage to the good name or 728
reputation of an individual or entity or jeopardize his or her 729
safety. Such disclosure could also result in the spread of 730
inaccurate information, which could harm the subject of the 731
examination or investigation, or otherwise impair commerce 732
conducted by financial institutions in this state. Any portion 733
of a record or information relating to an investigation or 734
examination which reveals personal financial information or the 735
identity of a confidential source may defame, or cause 736
unwarranted damage to the good name or reputation of, those 737
individuals, or jeopardize their safety. 738
(5) A trade secret derives independent economic value, 739
actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not 740
readily ascertainable by, other persons who can obtain economic 741
value from the disclosure or use of the trade secret. Without an 742
exemption for a trade secret held by the office in accordance 743
with its duties prescribed by chapter 655, Florida Statutes, 744
that trade secret becomes a public record when received and must 745
be divulged upon request. Divulging a trade secret under the 746
public records law would give business competitors an unfair 747
advantage and destroy the value of that property, causing a 748
financial loss to the person or entity submitting the trade 749
secret and weakening the position of that person or entity in 750

(6) The Legislature finds that there is little public 752
benefit derived from access to such information during the 753
office's investigation, and that the exemption is narrowly 754
tailored to allow for release except when the public benefit is 755
outweighed by harm to individuals or institutions, when the 756
disclosure would jeopardize other investigations, reveal the 757
office's investigative techniques or procedures, or expose 758
personal financial information or a confidential source. 759
