What this law does
All public postsecondary educational institutions must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act with respect to the education records of students. An institution may charge fees for copies of education records requested by a student, and the fees may not exceed the actual cost of producing the copies and may not include the costs of searching for or retrieving the records.
A student whose institution refuses to comply has an immediate right to bring an action in circuit court to enforce those rights by injunction. A student who brings the action and whose rights are vindicated may be awarded attorney's fees and court costs. Chapter 2009-239, Laws of Florida, created the section and took effect .
