Please Note: Florida has a very broad public records law. Most written communications to or from state officials regarding state business are considered to be public records and will be made available to the public and the media upon request. Your e-mail messages may, therefore, be subject to public disclosure.

Dear Sir/Madam:

The Senate has been working to collect records to fulfill your public records request, dated September 30, 2019, for the following information:

* "Any emails, texts, literature, or other forms of written communication to Legislators or their staff regarding the following:

"Senate Bill 64"
"SB 64"
"Vaccines"
"Vaccinations"
"Anti-vaccination"
"Immunizations"
"Immunization"
"Conscience Coalition"

* Please limit the search to communications received between 8/1/2019 and the Present."
The search has generated 6,581 email results from Senate IT. Some public records requests are able to be fulfilled without a charge; however, a reasonable fee to recover the cost of production may be imposed when a public records request requires an extensive use of Senate resources to compile and produce the records. "Extensive use" is any public records request that requires more than two hours of Senate resources to review, process and/or redact confidential or exempt information. Voluminous records will be provided in an electronic format. Additional charges may apply where hardcopies of voluminous records are requested.

Attached, is the Extensive Use Fee Estimate Invoice for this public records request which is approximately $1,497.39. Please note that this is an estimate only and the cost involved could be more or less depending on the actual number of hours of worked and/or resources used to comply with this request.

We require a payment equaling 75% of the estimated cost prior to proceeding with processing the records. The remaining 25% is due prior to the release of the records. Funds received in excess of actual costs will be refunded to the requester.

Please advise how you would like to proceed with this request.

Sincerely,

Michelle
