Notice of Correction

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule published in the Vol. 38, No. 76, November 21, 2012 issue of the Florida Administrative Register. The Department has provided a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs, prepared in accordance with Section 120.541(2), F.S., and reflecting changes proposed in the Notice of Change which is being issued and published simultaneous to this Notice of Correction. A copy of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs is available at: http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/alf_rulemaking.php.  Although the Notice of Proposed Rule indicated that the Department believed that legislative ratification of the proposed rule was necessary pursuant to Section 120.541(3), F.S., the Department believes that the adverse impacts or regulatory costs of the rule, as amended in the Notice of Change, do not exceed any of the criteria specified in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S., as noted in the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs. The following is a summary of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs prepared by the Department:

• The rule is not likely to directly or indirectly have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
• The rule is not likely to directly or indirectly have an adverse impact on business competitiveness, including the ability of persons doing business in the state to compete with persons doing business in other states or domestic markets, productivity, or innovation in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule.
• The rule is not likely to directly or indirectly increase regulatory costs, including transactional costs, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule.
• The number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the rule based on available data include 2,442 facility administrators, at most 601 facility managers, an annual average of 794 successful applicants for the core training competency examination, and, in a general sense, all staff members of standard licensed and specialty licensed assisted living facilities in the state.
• The Department will not incur any costs for implementing or enforcing the proposed rule.
• There will be no cost to any other state or local government entities for implementing or enforcing the proposed rule.
• The estimated number of small businesses that would be subject to the rule, pursuant to Section 288.703, F.S., include most, if not all, of the 3,043 licensed assisted living facilities in the state.
• There will be no impact on small counties or small cities as defined in Section 120.52, F.S.

This correction does not affect the substance of the rule as it appeared in the Florida Administrative Register as outlined above
