NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL HEARING

The Board of Medicine hereby gives notice of an additional hearing on Rule 64B8-10.003, F.A.C., to be held before the Board, on Friday, February 6, 2015, at 7:30 a.m., at the Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina, 555 NE Ocean Boulevard, Stuart, Florida 34996. The Board took public testimony on this rule at public hearings held on August 2, 2013, and October 3, 2013, and considered the testimony from the public hearings at the hearing held on December 6, 2013. The Committee reviewed and approved changes authorized by the Board at the December rule hearing and approved a Notice of Change at its meeting held on February 6, 2014. There remained some inconsistency with regard to the approved changes and the existing language and the Committee reconsidered the language at its hearing held on April 3, 2014. The Committee authorized revised language to the rule and although the Committee was scheduled to consider the revised draft at its meeting held on June 5, 2014, the Committee decided that it would consider additional public testimony at its October meeting. Additional public testimony was taken at the meeting held on October 9, 2014, and the Committee reviewed all the comments submitted at the December Committee meeting and determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) should be prepared. At the upcoming hearing in February, the Board will review the changes to the rule and the proposed SERC. The rule amendment was originally published in Vol. 39, No. 95, of the May 15, 2013, issue of the Florida Administrative Register (FAR).

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: André Ourso, J.D., M.P.H., Executive Director, Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253
