RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

69A-64.005Adjustments to Reflect Consumer Price Index

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Statutory revisions to section 112.191, F.S., that occurred during the 2019 legislative session eliminated the Department’s rulemaking authority for Rule 69A-64.005, F.A.C.; therefore, the rule is repealed.

SUMMARY: The rule is repealed to conform to statutory changes made pursuant to passage of CS/SB 7098, as implemented by Chapter 2019-24, Laws of Florida.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS 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: The Department conducted an economic analysis of the potential impact of the proposed rule repeal and determined that there will be no adverse economic impact or increases in regulatory costs that would require legislative ratification.

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.
