The Gold & Silver Bill
Florida wants to hide complaints about gold and silver dealers
Public Records/Custodians of Gold Coin and Silver Coin
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would hide consumer complaints and state investigations into businesses that hold your gold and silver from public view.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Florida is setting up rules for businesses that hold gold and silver coins for people. But this bill makes sure the public cannot see complaints filed against those businesses. It also hides details of state investigations into them. While the bill does protect your personal financial data, it also protects bad actors from bad press by keeping their misdeeds a secret.
