-- May 9 -- "While the legislature ran out of time before they could
have a complete dialogue on this issue, we are prepared to take this
measure in a new direction," said House sponsor Rep. Kevin Ambler. "We
need to determine how Floridians can be better served and protected by
available criminal background data, which by law is public
record." Supporters will be requesting the House Speakers Office
to assemble a committee to study the quality and availability of
criminal background screening data in Florida. Supporters of this
health and public safety measure include more than 130 Safer Online
Dating Alliance (SODA) members including the Florida Council Against
Sexual Violence, the International Union of Police Associations, the
Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence, National Organization of
Women-Florida Chapter. RELEASE @ YAHOO

The availability of exhaustive criminal records data for background
searches is under question...for good reason. It falls
short.
