RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

11C-6.009Sale and Delivery of Firearms

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Updates the rule with minor changes to reflect a name change, billing date range change and allows firearms dealers an additional 5 days to submit payment prior to service termination. Revises the title of Finance and Accounting to Financial Management, removes the date range for the billing period to allow flexibility to work with our accounting system and increase the number of days the firearms dealers have to submit payment.

SUMMARY: Rule 11C-6.009 F.A.C. is amended to revise the title of Finance and Accounting to Financial Management and to remove the date range for the billing period. It will also change the service termination date to 15 days after the invoice due date.

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’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.

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.
