(1)(a) Each office of the public defender shall electronically file court documents with the clerk of the court and receive court documents from the clerk of the court.

(b) As used in this section, the term “court documents” includes, but is not limited to, pleadings, motions, briefs, and their respective attachments, orders, judgments, opinions, decrees, and transcripts. (2) It is further the expectation of the Legislature that, in developing the capability and implementing the process, each office of the public defender consult with the office of the state attorney for the same circuit served by the office of the public defender, the clerks of court for the circuit, the Florida Court Technology Commission, and any authority that governs the operation of a statewide portal for the electronic filing and receipt of court documents.
