News Media:
Professional journalists collecting, photographing, recording, or reporting "news" as defined in section 90.5015 of the Florida Statutes are exempt from obtaining a permit, otherwise known as the “Breaking News” exemption. Any produced pieces that do not fall under the “Breaking News” umbrella and includes uses that require City coordination, inclusive of vehicles accessing authorized areas requiring prior written authorization for access (e.g., beach and park areas) must request a Film & Print permit.
Students:
Students must comply with all permitting requirements. Students are to apply under their school’s name and will be asked for their institution’s insurance if an active certificate of insurance is not already on file. To tie them into the school’s insurance, they must provide a copy of their valid student identification, and a copy of their course schedule with the class they are doing the film project for highlighted. Schools and government institutions are exempt from the Indemnity Agreement requirement.
