PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this proposed rulemaking is to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.
SUMMARY: These rules were identified during the comprehensive rule review as containing provisions that are no longer applicable, are antiquated, or are duplicative, and, thus, are appropriate for repeal.
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has determined that these proposed rules are not expected to require legislative ratification because they are being repealed to reduce unnecessary regulation.
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.

Applicants for driver licenses, who do not have current driver’s license at the time of the application, shall so state by affidavit.

(1)(2) A notice of clearance from the issuing state may be required if the applicant has previously been licensed in another state, if necessary to establish eligibility.

(2)(3) Out-of-state applicants who do not initially qualify on the examination when applying for a Florida driver’s license can retain their out-of-state license until they again apply for a Florida license, unless the applicant’s vision does not meet the Department’s minimum vision standards, whereupon the out-of-state license would be revoked for inadequate vision.
