ONLINE ACCESS AGREEMENT

This Online Access Agreement, identified by solicitation number PR325, is an inter-agency contract between the Florida Department of Commerce, the Florida Department of Revenue, and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The primary purpose of the agreement is to authorize the Department of Revenue to provide the Department of Business and Professional Regulation with online access to confidential reemployment tax employer information maintained within the SUNTAX Enterprise Portal.

The agreement establishes strict operational requirements to ensure the security and integrity of the confidential data. Key provisions include the establishment of specific security profiles and the requirement that all authorized users undergo mandatory Level 2 background screenings. Additionally, the contract outlines the necessary protocols for cost recovery and defines the respective responsibilities of each participating state agency to maintain the security of the SUNTAX system while facilitating the necessary tax verification processes.
