RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

59A-33.007AHCA Forms Availability, Information and Website

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Agency proposes to repeal a rule related to health care clinic licensure requirements.

SUMMARY: The Agency proposes to repeal a rule which notes the location of all forms, contact information, and website addresses referenced in this chapter. The Agency proposes to repeal this rule, because it does not meet the definition of a rule as provided in Section 120.52(16), F.S., and it is duplicative of information found elsewhere in the chapter.

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 no SERC is required and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S. is required based upon the Agency’s review of information at the time of analysis and the preparation of a checklist for each rule to determine the need for the creation of a SERC.

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 Agency has determined that no SERC is required and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S. is required based upon the Agency’s review of information at the time of analysis and the preparation of a checklist for each rule to determine the need for the creation of a SERC.

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.
