The Tampa Tribune reported on November 26 (the article is now in the archives $$) that the Florida Supreme Court appointed a committee, chaired by Jon Mills, to determine new procedures to address privacy issues related to the release of personal data in electronic court records.
From the Florida State Supreme Court Press Information webpage, these links to a November 25, 2003 Administrative Order (pdf) and a Press Release on the Supreme Court's policy to protect privacy in court records.
In related news, the Nashua (NH) Telegraph reported on November 30 that the State Supreme Court is also reviewing recommendations from a committee to limit the public availability of personal data from court records that includes addresses, telephone, bank account and social security numbers, as well as auto registration data.
