RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

6A-6.07861Model Forms for Charter Technical Career Center Applicants and Sponsors

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To implement forms for charter technical career centers, including the Model Florida Charter Technical Career Center Application and Florida Charter Technical Career Center Evaluation Instrument, pursuant to s. 1002.34, F.S. The effect will be a rule that is aligned with Florida Statutes.

SUMMARY: This rule provides the process and forms for the implementation of charter technical career centers authorized under s. 1002.34, F.S. The form adopted in this rule must be used for an initial charter application or renewal. The evaluation instrument must be used by chartering entities to evaluate the application.

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: The rule is not expected to have any impact on the factors found in 120.541(2)(a), F.S., because it provides a standard process for the application for new charter technical career centers, in compliance with all application statutes that govern the programs offered by these institutions, and will not require legislative ratification.

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.
