RULE NO: RULE TITLE
63E-7.002: Definitions
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Deleting language that retained an exclusion for specialized programs, which would conflict with a January 2009 amendment.
SUMMARY: In January 2009, the rule chapter was amended to incorporate specialized programs such as serious habitual offender and intensive residential treatment programs. Specific language excluding these programs from the scope of the rule chapter was deleted at that time. However, language in a single definition, which repeated the exclusion, was inadvertently retained, and must now be deleted.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
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.
