RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

12D-16.002Index to Forms

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, F.A.C., is to adopt, by reference, new forms that will be used to administer the Certified Florida Property Appraiser and Certified Florida Tax Collector Program and to remove forms rendered obsolete by the new forms. When in effect, the new forms will provide a more efficient process for certification.

SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, Florida Administrative Code (Index to Forms), incorporate new Forms DR-4001 (Application for Florida Professional Certification) and DR-4002 (Application for Approval of a Course or Continuing Education Credit Hours). The proposed amendments also repeal obsolete Forms DR-410, Application for Certified Florida Collector or Certified Florida Collector Assistant, DR-516, Application for Certified Florida Appraiser, DR-516E, Application for Certified Florida Evaluator, and DR-591, Application for Certified Cadastralist of Florida.

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 a 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.
