RULE NO: RULE TITLE
61G3-21.012: Notice of Non-Compliance
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule amendment requires the barbers laminate and display their license until the license is inactive.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule amendment imposes penalties on licensees who do not laminate their licenses accordance with Rule 61G3-19.009, F.A.C.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: A Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs has been prepared. Approximately 101 notices of non-compliance will be issued for barbers, restricted barbers, and barber assistants not having their current license laminated within a 12 month period after the rule became effective. The following reflects the number of notices of non-compliance that were issued to barbers for minor violations for the last Fiscal Years:
Fiscal Year 2005 to 2006, 230 notices of non-compliance was issued;
Fiscal Year 2006 to 2007, 191 notices of non-compliance was issued and;
Fiscal Year 2007 to 2008, 251 notices of non-compliance was issued.
The number of barbers who failed to comply with the new lamination requirement, pursuant to Rule 61G3-19.009, F.A.C., which became effective July 1, 2008, is expected to decrease after the first year as barbers become more familiar with the new requirement. The Board determined the proposed change to the rule is not expected to have an impact on small businesses unless a citation is issued. If a citation is issued the fine will be $50.00 to $250.00 per violation, and costs.
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.
