RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
33-203.601: Employee Benefit Trust Fund
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to amend Form DC2-356, EBTF Expenditure & Check Request, to allow institutions to list multiple vendors for each event. Allowing multiple vendors to be listed for each event provides a better view of costs for the events, simplifies the process, and eliminates the need for multiple approvals for each event.
SUMMARY: Rulemaking was initiated to amend Form DC2-356, EBTF Expenditure & Check Request, to allow institutions to list multiple vendors for each event.
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: upon review of the proposed changes to these rules and incorporated forms, the department has determined that the amendments will not exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC as set forth in s. 120.541(2)(a), FS.
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.
