PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule is to remove obsolete duties of the admissions and certification committees specified under Rule Chapter 12-9, F.A.C. The effect of this rule is to clarify the responsibilities of the admissions and certification committees. This proposed rule is posted on the Department’s website at http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/legislation/rules/.

SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12-9.002, F.A.C., (Certified Florida Property Appraiser/Certified Florida Evaluator and Certified Florida Collector/Certified Florida Collector Assistant Program) remove two provisions from the list of duties performed by the admissions and certification committees in the Department’s Certification Program.

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: : 1) no requirement for an SERC was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and, 2) based on past experiences with activities for providing the public tax information and rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

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.
