RULE NO:RULE TITLE:

6A-1.09417Curriculum Frameworks ‒ Lifelong Learning Noncredit Courses, Adults ‒ High School and Non-High School Graduates.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose is to repeal Rule 6A-1.09417, F.A.C. The effect is to remove a rule from the Florida Administrative Code that is no longer supported by statutory authority.

SUMMARY: This rule was enacted in 1988.  The statutes authorizing the development of Lifelong learning adult noncredit course curriculum frameworks were repealed.  Currently there is no statutory authority for the development of Adult lifelong learning noncredit course curriculum frameworks. This repeal does not preclude school districts or Florida College System institutions from offering lifelong learning noncredit courses. Lifelong learning is defined in s. 1004.02 (17), F.S., as noncredit course or activity offered by a school district or Florida College System institution that seeks to address community social and economic issues related to health and human relations, government, parenting, consumer economics, and senior citizens.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST (SERC) AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICIATION:  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herein: The statutory authority citations (ss. 228.041(35), 230.23(7), 232.2454, 233.011, 233.09, 233.165, F.S.) were repealed. Currently there is no statutory authority for the development of Adult lifelong learning noncredit course curriculum frameworks.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of the notice.
