RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

18-24.007Board of Trustees Consideration

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed rule is to amend the existing rule to require annual submittal of the Acquisition and Restoration Council's report to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund required by Section 259.105(15), Florida Statutes. The current rule requires submittal semiannually.

SUMMARY: This amendment affects the frequency of submittal of a report prepared by the Acquisition and Restoration Council to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund on acquisition projects under the Florida Forever Program and the Board's consideration of the report.

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 rule revision reduces the reporting requirements and will not have an adverse impact on small business or increase in regulatory cost.

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.
