Notice of Emergency Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF LEGAL AFFAIRS

Division:

Division of Victim Services and Criminal Justice Programs

Overview

RULE:

2AER10-1

Stalking

SPECIFIC REASONS FOR FINDING AN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE:

The Legislature found that it was a public necessity to exempt from public disclosure the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of victims of stalking or aggravated stalking and legislated that these victims be included in the Address Confidentiality Program. These emergency rules address that exemption and make changes that allow inclusion of these victims in the Address Confidentiality Program.

REASON FOR CONCLUDING THAT THE PROCEDURE IS FAIR UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES:

Current rules do not include victims of stalking or aggravated stalking as mandated by the 2010 Legislature. Although the agency is addressing the issue through traditional rulemaking, the health, safety and welfare of these victims is of immediate concern. The legislation became effective May 26, 2010.

SUMMARY:

Provides procedures and requirements for victims of stalking to participate in the Address Confidentiality Program under Sections 741.401-.465, Florida Statutes.

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE EMERGENCY RULE IS:

Christina Harris, Chief, Bureau of Advocacy and Grants Management, Department of Legal Affairs, PL-01 The Capitol, Tallahassee, FL 32399-1050
