    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Updates the “Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments” by which school districts receive Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) funding. The effect will be an updated directory of courses for students to take to earn credit toward high school graduation.

    SUMMARY: This amendment incorporates the following changes into the “Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments” document: identify newly added courses for the 2019-20 school year, identify courses for deletion in the 2020-21 school year and remove expired courses.

    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: This proposed rule is not expected to have any adverse impact on economic growth, business competitiveness or any other factors listed in s. 120.541(2)(a), F.S., and will not require legislative ratification. No increase in regulatory costs are anticipated as a result of the rule changes. More specifically, deleting obsolete courses and revising a form to request less information will have no effect.

    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.
