PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal rules that are no longer statutorily authorized.

SUMMARY: Rule 64C-9.001, F.A.C. defines terms used in the Sexual Abuse Treatment Rule. Rule 64C-9.002, F.A.C. establishes the membership and credentials of those who serve on the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program. Rule 64C-9.003, F.A.C. provides who is eligible for the program services. Rule 64C-9.004, F.A.C. allows for waivers if a standard required by the rule is not attained. These rules are not incorporated in other rules and their repeal will not have an effect on other rules.

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: the SERC checklist does not indicate that the statutory threshold for ratification will be exceeded.

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.
