SUMMARY: Rules 5.103, .203 and .206, F.A.C., outlines hospital financial reporting requirements. The Agency is proposing to repeal Rules 5.103, .203 and .206, F.A.C., related to hospital financial data filing requirements. Language needed from the rules exists elsewhere within Rule Chapter 59E-5 making these rules unnecessary.

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.

For rules listed where no SERC was prepared, the Agency prepared a checklist for each rule to determine the necessity for a SERC.

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: Based on this information at the time of the analysis and pursuant to section 120.541, Florida Statutes, the rule will not 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.
