Trade Secrets Law Bill Before the FL Legislature

Please see the attached a bill, and analysis, directed towards repealing all public record exemptions for trade secrets in current law, all associated processes for designating a trade secret, and all references to trade secrets contained in definitions for proprietary business information.  The House bill has had one hearing in the House, but the Senate bill has not been heard.

Please review and provide me your initial thoughts on this bill.  Also, in view of this bill, if the sentiment is this will result in bad law, we will need volunteers to prepare a white paper.  Any volunteers?

Thanks, Terry M. Sanks
