The Tallahassee Democrat reports that three Florida lawmakers are calling on Governor Ron DeSantis to provide clarity to state agency heads about COVID-related work protocols. Public records requests for agency policies were sent to Florida agencies.
As James Call explains, the Department of Health responded almost 170 days after receipt of a public records request for copies of its COVID protocols stating that it had no records responsive to the request. Meanwhile, Department of Children and Families, Agency for Healthcare Administration, and the departments of Education, Law Enforcement, and State acknowledged receipt of the public records request but have not yet completed the request.
