Rule No. : RULE TITLE :
6A-10.045: Tuition and Fees Exemptions for Florida National Guard
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: In 2009, the Legislature amended Section 250.10, Florida Statutes, removing the responsibility of the State Board of Education as it relates to the Educational Duty for Dollars (EDD) program, which is designed to provide financial assistance to members of the Florida National Guard. The EDD program remains active but the statute was amended to shift the responsibility for processing financial assistance to eligible students to the Adjutant General. The Adjutant General works directly with the postsecondary institution to ensure the student receives the financial assistance according to the eligibility criteria. This rule is recommended for repeal as the State Board of Education no longer has rulemaking authority.
SUMMARY: The rule is to be repealed.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: 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. An SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
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.
