RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
59A-10.031: Purpose
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Agency proposes to repeal a rule related to health care risk manager licensure.
SUMMARY: The rule states the purpose of Sections 395.10971 through 395.10975, F.S. – to establish specific standards within the scope of general qualifications that must be met by an individual to receive a license as a health care risk manager. The Agency proposes to repeal this rule as it is not substantive and serves no actual purpose.
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 this repeal involves an unnecessary statement of purpose and 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 repeal of the rule. Statements of estimated regulatory costs (SERCs) have not been prepared by the Agency based on the determination that the repeal will not impact small businesses.
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.
