PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose is to repeal Rules 6A-7.0711 and 6A-7.076, F.A.C. The content of these rules, appropriately updated to reflect current law, will be incorporated in Rule 6A-7.0710, F.A.C. The effect will be a new rule which is consistent with current statutes.
SUMMARY: Rules 6A-7.0711 and 6A-7.076, F.A.C., are to be repealed.
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if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: As the rules are recommended to be repealed, legislative ratification will not be required. Rule 6A-7.076, F.A.C., has not been amended since 1974; Rule 6A-7.0711, F.A.C., has not been amended since 1992. The content of the rules is outdated and no longer relevant.
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.
