The purpose of this amendment is to repeal Rule 69J-7.007, F.A.C., which provides that if an existing and compliant opening protection system of a home is unlikely to be deployed due to medical limitations on the homeowner, a replacement system that is more likely to be deployed because the medical limitations do not impede deployment of the system shall qualify for a grant from the My Safe Florida Home program. This rule is being repealed because it is an invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority.

Section 215.5586, F.S., establishes the MyFloridaSafe Home Program to provide grants to encourage residential property owners meeting specified criteria to improve the structural integrity of their residential structures to make them less vulnerable to hurricane damage. In most cases, replacing one set of code compliant hurricane shutters with another set does not meet the statutory mandate that improvements funded by MySafeFlorida Home grant be used to make structures less vulnerable to hurricane damage. However, if a medical condition makes an existing shutter system too difficult to deploy, its replacement with a more easily deployed system may reduce hurricane damage vulnerability. The proposed rule provides a procedure for homeowners with a medical condition which impairs shutter deployment to obtain a grant to replace shutters.
