A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
STATEMENT REGARDING LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The repeal of this rule is not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to Section 120.541(3)(a)1., F.S., as there will be no impact on economic growth, job creation or employment, private-sector investment, or business competitiveness and no increase in regulatory costs.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
