RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

61G15-20.0010Application for Licensure by Examination

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To clarify and streamline Form FBPE/001 for easier completion by applicants.

SUMMARY: Clarify and streamline Form FBPE/001 for easier completion by applicants.

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 Board voted that no SERC was required and legislative ratification was unnecessary, since the revisions clarify and streamline the existing form. The Board found the new form will be easier to complete and, thus, is expected to reduce regulatory costs and burdens; accordingly, legislative ratification is not expected to be required.

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.
