PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Agency proposes to repeal this rule, which provided for the disbursement of monies from the Medical Education and Tertiary Care Trust Fund to statutory teaching hospitals, as the trust fund has been repealed.

SUMMARY: Rule 59E-5.603 is unnecessary and no longer valid.

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 that no SERC is required and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3) F.S.is required based on the Agency’s review of information at the time of analysis and the preparation of a checklist for the rule to determine the need for the creation of a SERC.

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.
