RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
6A-1.0014: Comprehensive Management Information System
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule amendment is to revise existing requirements of the statewide comprehensive management information system which are necessary in order to implement changes recommended by school districts and to make changes in state reporting and local recordkeeping procedures for state and/or federal programs. The effect is to maintain compatibility among state and local information systems components.
SUMMARY: The rule incorporates revisions to selected data elements, procedures and timelines for state reporting, local recordkeeping, and statewide records transfer which are to be implemented by each school district and the Department of Education within the automated statewide comprehensive management information system.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification. Based on past agency experience with adjusting reporting requirements for school districts in the comprehensive management information system, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed, nor would be expected to exceed, any one of the economic analysis criteria set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), Florida Statutes, because the proposed revisions do not impose any regulatory fees and it is believed all impacted entities can implement the proposed rule with existing staff and technology.
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.
