PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Subsection 11G-5.002(9), F.A.C.: Orange and Osceola counties each enacted home rule authority for the appointment of the county’s respective medical examiner, which requires each county to become its own medical examiner district.

Subsection 11G-5.002(25), F.A.C.: This revision is necessary to add Osceola County as its own medical examiner district.

Section 11G-5.003, F.A.C.: Corrects the number of medical examiner districts from 24 to 25 with the creation of district 25 for Osceola County.

Subsection 11G-5.003(2), F.A.C.: Includes District 25 in the second year term rotations since District 9 and District 25 serve the same constituency and should be surveyed at the same time.
