§2-G-10 | REQUESTER MAKES HIS/HER OWN COPIES

Section 119.07(3)(a), F.S., provides a “right of access to public records for the purpose of making photographs of the record while such record is in the possession, custody, and control of the custodian of public records.” This subsection “applies to the making of photographs in the conventional sense by use of a camera device to capture images of public records but excludes the duplication of microfilm in the possession of the clerk of the circuit court” if the clerk can provide a copy of the microfilm. Section 119.07(3)(b), F.S.

The photographing is to be done in the room where the public records are kept. Section 119.07(3)(d), F.S. However, if in the custodian’s judgment, this is impossible or impracticable, the copying shall be done in another room or place, as close as possible to the room where the public records are kept. Id. Where provision of another room or place is necessary, the expense of providing the same shall be paid by the person who wants to copy the records. Id. The custodian may charge the person making the copies for supervision services. Section 119.07(4)(e)2., F.S. In such cases the custodian may not charge the copy charges authorized in s. 119.07(4)(a), F.S., but may charge only the supervision service charge authorized in s. 119.07(4)(e)2., F.S. See AGO 82-23. Cf. Board of Trustees, Jacksonville Police & Fire Pension Fund v. Lee, 189 So. 3d 120, 122 (Fla. 2016) (affirming trial court finding that two conditions — “an hourly photocopying fee and an hourly supervisory fee” — were imposed in violation of s. 119.07, F.S.).
