The balance of Rule Chapter 69L-3, F.A.C., which provides detailed guidance and information regarding the aforementioned employer/insurer responsibilities, remains unchanged. This rulemaking will not have an adverse impact or regulatory costs in excess of $1 million within five years as established in s.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.
