Published on: 13355753. The purpose of these amendments to the rules in Chapter 34-5, FAC, is to incorporate the statutory changes made pursuant to the enactment of Chapter 2013-36, LOF. Primarily, the changes in the law now allow referrals from the Governor, the Department of Law Enforcement, a state attorney, or a United States Attorney. The law also increased the "black-out" period for complaints filed five (5) days prior to an election. As a result, complaints or referrals filed within thirty (30) days of an election will now be returned, unless based upon personal information or information other than hearsay.
