RULE NOS.:RULE TITLES:

64B1-7.001 Biennial Renewal of License.

64B1-7.0025 Reactivation of Retired License.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT:  To adopt new Rule 64B1-7.0025, F.A.C., outlining requirements for reactivation of retired license by partially incorporating Rule 64B1-2.018, F.A.C. (which is being repealed), and repeal remaining rule as it is will become partially obsolete and partially duplicative.

SUMMARY:  Adopt new rule outlining requirements for reactivation of retired license.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST 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:  During discussion of the economic impact of Rule 64B1-7.0025, F.A.C., at its meeting and based upon the expertise and experience of its members, the Board determined that a SERC was not necessary and that the rule will not require ratification by the Legislature.  Additionally, repealing the remaining rule will have no effect, because it will become obsolete, unnecessary and/or duplicative.  No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time.

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.
