12-18.008Compensation for Vending Machine Violations
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12-18.008, F.A.C. (Compensation for Vending Machine Violations), is to update the notice to customers that must be affixed to a vending machine by the operator of the machine, as provided in Section 212.0515(3), F.S., as amended by Section 6, Chapter 2010-138, L.O.F., and provided in Rule 12A-1.044, F.A.C.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12-18.008, F.A.C. (Compensation for Vending Machine Violations), reflect changes to the notice required to be placed on vending machines by operators.
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: 1) no requirement for the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences with the required notice placed on vending machines and rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.
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.
