PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Florida Enterprise Zone Act was repealed by section 290.016, F.S., effective December 31, 2015. The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, F.A.C. (Index to Forms), is to repeal two obsolete forms previously used to administer exemptions for child care facilities or new, rebuilt or expanded businesses located in enterprise zones.

SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, F.A.C., repeal obsolete Form DR-418E, Enterprise Zone Ad Valorem Property Tax Exemption – Child Care Facility Application for Exemption Certification, and obsolete Form DR-456, Notice of New, Rebuilt, or Expanded Property.

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 the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences regarding 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.
