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 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. The SERC determined that:
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 the implementation of the rule.
The rule is not likely to directly or indirectly to increase regulatory costs, including any transaction costs, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of this rule.
The number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the rule based on the number of applicants for licensure over the last three fiscal years will be approximately 102 applicants annually.
The department will not incur any costs for implementing or enforcing the proposed rule.
There will be no cost to any other state and local government entities of implementing the proposed rule.
Costs to the applicants to comply with the rule should be $600.00 per applicant.
The estimated number of small businesses is unknown as the change will only impact applicants for licensure after the rule goes into effect.
There is no small county or small city that will be impacted by the rule.
This correction does not affect the substance of the rule as it appeared in the Florida Administrative Register as outlined above.
THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: Anthony Jusevitch, Executive Director, Board of Acupuncture/MQA, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3256.
