    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this new rule is to incorporate by reference and implement the model application and model evaluation instrument developed by the Department for District Innovation Schools of Technology.

    SUMMARY: During the 2013 legislative session, Section 1002.451, F.S., was created to authorize the operation of District Innovation Schools of Technology and to require the use of a model application and evaluation instrument.

    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: This rule references and implements the model application and model evaluation instrument developed by the Department for District Innovation Schools of Technology and no requirement for SERC was triggered under Section 120.541(1), Florida Statutes. There would be no economic impact from this new rule and the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, does not exceed nor would be expected to exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria set forth 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.
