64F-20.002: Criteria for Distributing Monies
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department proposes to amend paragraphs 64F-20.002(1)(d), (e) (including form DH3230) and subsection (5), F.A.C. The amendment to paragraph (1)(d) modifies the type of financial management training. The change to paragraph (1)(e) removes the publication date in the rule since the forms effective date is already included on the form and incorporates additional questions regarding rape crisis center demographic information and victim services on form DH3230. Subsection (5) removes the 5 percent administrative cap for both rape crisis centers and the statewide non-profit association due to the recent amendment of Section 794.055(3)(b), Florida Statutes.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Financial management training, demographic information for rape crisis centers, victim services and administrative cost.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 794.056(2) FS.
