PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect is to amend the rule to adopt revised forms DBPR ECLB 8 and DBPR ECLB 9 to update examination and reexamination fees.

SUMMARY: Within the provided paragraph the Department proposes to amend Rule 61-35.012 to adopt the forms.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

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 economic review conducted by the Agency.
