PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of developing changes to these rules is to: (1) update materials incorporated by reference; (2) provide language regarding signage pursuant to sections 616.242 (4) (b), (c) and (d), F.S.; (3) ensure compliance with 2016 legislative changes to sections 616.242(15) and (16), F.S. pursuant to s. 37, Ch. 2016-166, L.O.F.; (4) amend the penalty structure to encompass the addition of new rule language; (5) update forms currently in use.

SUMMARY: The proposed rules: (1) adopt updated materials incorporated by reference; (2) add standard requirements for signage prominently displayed at the entrance of amusement rides; (3) will allow owners and managers to submit ride specific daily inspection reports and employee training records for department approval in lieu of submitting department forms.  Forms must, at a minimum, include all information required on the forms currently prescribed by rule of the department; (4) amend the penalty structure to encompass language from Rule 5J-18.007, F.A.C.; and (5) update forms for compliance with statutory requirements.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS (SERC) AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The Agency has determined that this rule 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’s economic analysis of the adverse impact or potential regulatory costs of the proposed rule did not exceed any of the criteria established in Section 120.541(2)(a), Florida Statutes. As part of this analysis, the department relied upon the Fair Rides database to determine the rides currently operating in the state under these classifications and those that may enter and operate in the upcoming year. Additionally, no interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact. Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

5J-18.0127 Enforcement Actions and Administrative Penalties.

(1) This rule sets forth the guidelines the dDepartment will follow in imposing the penalties authorized under Chapter 616, F.S. The purpose of the guidelines is to give notice of the range of penalties which normally will be imposed for a single violation. These guidelines list aggravating and mitigating factors that, if present, will reduce or increase penalties to be imposed against the violator by the department. No aggravating factors will be applied to increase a fine imposed for a single violation above the statutory maximum of $2,500 per violation, per day. The guidelines in this rule chapter are based upon a single count violation of each provision listed. Multiple counts of the violated provision or a combination of the listed violations will be added together to determine an overall total penalty and will be grounds for enhancement of penalties.

(2) The dDepartment will enforce compliance with Chapter 616, F.S., and this rule chapter by issuing an administrative complaint, notice of noncompliance, a stop operation order, out of service tag, or an immediate final order for violations of Chapter 616, F.S., and this rule chapter.

(3) through (4) No change. 

(5) Rule Not All-Inclusive. This rule contains illustrative violations. It does not, and is not intended to encompass all possible violations of statute or dDepartment rule that might be committed by any person. The absence of any violation from this rule chapter shall in no way be construed to indicate that the violation does not cause harm to the public or is not subject to a penalty. In any instance where the violation is not listed in this rule chapter, the penalty will be determined by consideration of:

(a) through (b) No change.

(6) Aggravating and Mitigating Factors. The dDepartment will consider aggravating and mitigating factors in determining penalties for violations of Chapter 616, F.S., and this rule chapter.

If a notice of noncompliance is issued for an initial violation, a second violation within a three-year period shall result in a fine of at least $250, not to exceed $2,500.  Both aggravating and mitigating factors, if present shall be applied against each single count of the listed violation regardless of whether the violation is a minor violation or a major violation as described in subsection (9) below.

(a) Aggravating fFactors shall include:

1. through 2. No change.

3. Previous violations within the preceding three years for the same or a similar offense that resulted in imposition of administrative penalties, issuance of a notice of noncompliance, or suspension or revocation of a permit or inspection certificate enforcement action.

Minor violations shall result in the imposition of an administrative fine against the owner of the amusement ride of $250 per violation, per day. Aggravating factors as defined in paragraph (6)(a) of this rule shall warrant the adjustment of the fine upward and mitigating factors as defined in paragraph (6)(b) of this rule shall warrant the adjustment of the fine downward, but no fine shall exceed the statutory maximum as outlined in Section 616.242(19)(a), F.S. For the purposes of this rule, the following violations shall be considered minor violations:

1. through 6. No change.

7. Failure to prominently display required signage at the entrance of each amusement ride.

(c) Major Violations. A violation of a Chapter 616, F.S., or this rule chapter is a major violation if it results in economic or physical harm to a person or adversely affects the public health, safety, or welfare or creates a significant threat of such harm. Major violations shall result in the imposition of an administrative fine against the owner of the amusement ride of $1,000 per violation, per day or suspension of the owner’s permit or inspection certificate for not more than one year or revocation the owner’s permit or inspection certificate or any combination thereof.
