Purpose


The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to amend Rule 33-501.302, F.A.C. to clarify that copying services shall only be provided for documents already in the inmate’s possession. The rule is also amended regarding inmate requests for records made during the course of discovery: inmates shall produce an order or pleading requiring production of records, that the rule does not provide for placement of a lien when copying documents requested during the course of discovery, and copies of documents requested during the course of discovery will not be provided unless inmates have sufficient funds to cover the cost of the copying.
