PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The revised rule will provide instruction for obtaining a specialized practitioner designation, provide reasons for denial of a participant’s training, and provide reasons for the revocation of a designation of a designee.

SUMMARY: The rule is being updated to provide instruction for obtaining a specialized practitioner designation, provide reasons for denial of a participant’s training, and provide reasons for the revocation of a designation of a designee.

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: During discussion of the economic impact of this rule the Department, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary. This proposed rulemaking will not have an adverse impact or effect regulatory costs in excess of $1million within five years as established in Section 120.541(2)(a)1., 2., and 3., 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.
