    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    68A-23.010Disposition of Illegal Fishing Devices

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed repeal of Rule 68A-23.010 in its entirety is part of the continuing effort to review and repeal any unnecessary regulations. The repeal of this rule will not have a negative impact to FWC staff or Stakeholders. FWC’s Law Enforcement Officers will continue to follow appropriate Florida Statutes and internal protocols for handing illegal fishing devices.

    SUMMARY: In an ongoing effort to reduce unnecessary regulations, Rule 68A-23.010 is repealed. The regulation addresses the removal of illegal or illegally used fishing devices from Florida’s freshwaters. Upon review, it was determined that the regulation is redundant with Chapter 379.341 Florida Statutes (F.S.) and repealing it has no impact.

    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 nature of the rule and the preliminary analysis conducted to determine whether a SERC was required

    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.
