    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department has determined that it lacks the required rulemaking authority necessary for the administration of Rule 69L-31.015, F.A.C. Therefore, the rule is repealed.

    SUMMARY: Rule 69L-31.015, F.A.C., is being repealed, as its provisions are not in accord with the Department’s rulemaking authority.

    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 Department conducted an analysis of the proposed rule’s potential economic impact and determined that there was no factor that would exceed any of the criteria established in Section 120.541(2)(a), 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.
