PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule development is to align the rule with the governing statute, Section 1009.55, Florida Statutes. The effect will be a rule which is consistent with governing law.

SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The proposed rule renames the Reinstatement/Restoration Application for Students and Teachers to be called the Reinstatement/Restoration Application; programs for teachers were repealed. The proposed rule adds the term Florida college to reflect current statutory naming conventions. The 2014 Florida Legislature amended Section 1009.55, Florida Statutes, to award a maximum of $6,100 to 50 applicants, increased from $4,000 to 25 applicants. Since the award amount and number of scholarships are in current statute, this information is being removed from the rule.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 1001.02(1), 1009.55(2) FS.

LAW IMPLEMENTED: 1009.55 FS.
