Florida:§ 815.01 to 815.07
815.02 Legislative intent--The Legislature finds and declares that:
(1) Computer-related crime is a growing problem in government as well as in the private sector ( ) (2) Computer-related crime occurs at great cost to the p p g public since losses for each incident of computer crime tend to be far greater than the losses associated with each incident of other white collar crime (3) The opportunities for computer-related crimes in financial computer related institutions, government programs, government records, and other business enterprises through the introduction of fraudulent records into a computer system, the unauthorized use of computer facilities, the alteration or destruction of computerized information or files, and the stealing of financial instruments, data, and other assets are great
Florida:§ 815.01 to 815.07 (cont d) (cont’d)
(4) While various forms of computer crime might possibly be the subject of criminal charges based on other provisions of law, it is law appropriate and desirable that a supplemental and additional statute be provided which proscribes various forms of computer abuse
815.04 815 04 Offenses against intellectual property; public records exemption-(1) Whoever willfully, knowingly, and without authorization modifies data, d t programs, or supporting d ti documentation residing or existing t ti idi i ti internal or external to a computer, computer system, or network commits an offense against intellectual property (2) Whoever willfully, knowingly, and without authorization d t ( ) Wh illf ll k i l d ith t th i ti destroys data, programs, or supporting documentation residing or existing internal or external to a computer, computer system, or computer network commits an offense against intellectual property
(3)(a) Data, programs, or supporting documentation which is a trade secret as defined in s. 812.081 which resides or exists internal or external to a computer, p , computer system, or computer network which is held by an agency as defined in chapter 119 is confidential and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution (b) Whoever willfully, knowingly, and without authorization discloses or takes willfully knowingly data, programs, or supporting documentation which is a trade secret as defined in s. 812.081 or is confidential as provided by law residing or existing internal or external to a computer, computer system, or computer network commits an offense against intellectual property (4)(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, an offense against intellectual property is a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084 (b) If the offense is committed for the purpose of devising or executing any scheme or artifice to defraud or to obtain any property, then the offender is guilty of a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or 775 4 s. 775.084
815.05 Trade secret information--The Legislature finds that it is a public necessity that trade secret information as defined in s 812.081, and as s. 812 081 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 public benefit derived f bli b fit d i d from disclosure, and th public's ability to scrutinize and di l d the bli ' bilit t ti i d monitor agency action is not diminished by nondisclosure of trade secrets
815.06 Offenses against computer users-(1) h ( ) Whoever willfully, k illf ll knowingly, and without authorization: i l d ih h i i

• Previous law: Under previous law, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act ("ECPA"), 18 U.S.C. § 2703 et seq., governed law enforcement access to stored electronic communications (such as e-mail), but not stored wire communications (such as voice-mail). Instead, the wiretap statute governed such access because the definition of "wire communication" (18 U.S.C. § 2510(1)) included stored communications, arguably requiring law enforcement to use a wiretap order (rather than a search warrant) to obtain unopened voice communications. Thus, law ) p , enforcement authorities used a wiretap order to obtain voice communications stored with a third party provider but could use a search warrant if that same information were stored on an answering machine inside a criminal’s home. Regulating stored wire communications th R l ti t d i i ti through section 2510(1) created l h ti t d large and d unnecessary burdens for criminal investigations. Stored voice communications possess few of the sensitivities associated with the real-time interception of telephones, making the extremely burdensome process of obtaining a wiretap order unreasonable. bl
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. GPEA specifically states practicable 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 and accepting electronic d i d ti l t i documents and signatures, i l di t d i t including records required to be maintained under Federal programs and information that employers are required to store and file with Federal agencies about their employees. These p g p y procedures reflect and are to be executed with due consideration of the following policies:
Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) (cont’d) (cont d)
• maintaining compatibility with standards and technology for electronic signatures generally used in commerce and industry and by State governments; • not inappropriately favoring one industry or technology; • ensuring that electronic signatures are as reliable as appropriate for the g g pp p purpose in question; • maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks and other costs; • protecting the p p g privacy of transaction p y partners and third p parties that have information contained in the transaction; • ensuring that agencies comply with their recordkeeping responsibilities under the FRA for these electronic records. Electronic record keeping systems reliably preserve the information submitted, as required b th t li bl th i f ti b itt d i d by the Federal Records Act and implementing regulations; and • providing, wherever appropriate, for the electronic acknowledgment of e ect o c electronic filings t at a e success u y sub tted. gs that are successfully submitted.
• 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 economically p y prudent to accomplish the agency's mission, p p g y , protect 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, supported by an assessment of whether to plans 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 only minimal consideration, while hi h i k processes d l i i l id i hil high-risk 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 Presidential Decision Directive 63. P id ti l D i i Di ti 6 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 also should b used to d l b li l h ld be d develop baselines and verifiable performance measures that d ifi bl f h track the agency's mission, strategic plans, and tactical goals, as required by the Clinger-Cohen Act. In addition to serving as a guide for selecting the most appropriate technologies, the assessment of costs and b f d benefits should b d f h ld be designed so that it can b used to d h be d generate a business case and verifiable return on investment to support agency decisions regarding overall programmatic direction, investment decisions, and budgetary priorities. In doing so, agencies should consider the effects on the public, its needs, and its readiness to move to an electronic environment needs environment.
