6A-1.0402School and District Annual Reports

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose is to repeal Rule 6A-1.0402, F.A.C. The effect is to remove a rule from the Florida Administrative Code that is no longer needed.

SUMMARY: Section 1003.23 F.S., requires districts to keep records and submit all reports required by law and rules of the State Board of Education. 6A-1.044(3), F.A.C., is the rule for attendance procedures pursuant section 1003.23, F.S. Rule 6A-1.0402 is no longer necessary.

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: 1) no requirement for SERC was triggered under s. 120.541(1), F.S., and 2) based on past experiences with rules that affect individual students and their families in an educational setting and have no impact on small businesses, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would be expected to exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria set forth in s. 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.
