Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • MENTAL HEALTH – CONFIDENTIALITY OF EXAMINING COMMITTEE REPORTS _____________________________________________________________________________________ F.S. 744.331(3)(a) requires that, within 5 days after a petition for determination of incapacity has been filed, the court shall appoint an examining committee of three members consisting of a psychiatrist or other physician, and two other members who must be either a psychologist, gerontologists, another psychiatrist, or other physician, a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, licensed social worker, a person with an advanced degree in gerontology from an accredited institution of higher education or other person who by knowledge, skill, experience, training or education may, in the court’s discretion, advise the court in the form of an expert opinion. • F.S. 744.331(3) (g) requires that each committee member’s report must include inter alia: 1. • Section 744.331(3)(e), Florida Statutes provides in part “Each member of the examining committee must file his or her report with the clerk of court within 15 days after appointment.” -- 1 of 2 -- 2 As a consequence of this amendment, an examining committee report filed with the Clerk becomes a public record in accordance with Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420(a) and (b)(1)(A) since the examining committee report is not specifically exempted from the right of public access by statute or Rule.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 081684a5beae52f3c2469e4e38fb7860202f4d86bbc82aaf972f2d5029a21ee3 (138110 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it. | Scope corrected 2026-08-03: the 18th numbers county-specific orders with -b (Brevard) and -s (Seminole); unsuffixed orders are circuit-wide. This rule was bulk-tagged to one county at harvest; the court's own numbering convention now controls.
