RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B2-13.0049: Inactive Status License

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to delete the requirement regarding the inactive status licensee paying the active status fee for each biennium during which the license was inactive.

SUMMARY: The requirement for an inactive status licensee to pay the active status fee for each biennium during which the license was inactive will be removed from the rule.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

During discussion of the economic impact of the rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary and that the rule amendment will not require ratification by the Legislature. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. The Board has determined that this rule will not have an adverse impact on small business, or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within 1 year after implementation of the rule.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower regulatory cost alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 460.036 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 460.036 FS.

IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: Bruce Deterding, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257

 

THE TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE IS:

64B2-13.0049 Inactive Status License.

(1) No change.

(2) An inactive status licensee may change to active status at any time provided the licensee meets the continuing education requirements of Rule 64B2-13.004, F.A.C., pays the active status fees for each biennium during which the license was inactive, pays the reactivation fee, and if the request to change licensure status is made at any time other than at the beginning of a licensure cycle, pays the additional processing fee.
