6A-6.0574CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding List

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To adopt the 2017-2018 CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding List, Updated. Under the provisions of ss. 1011.80, and 1011.81, F.S., school districts and Florida College System institutions may be distributed performance funding upon student attainment of industry certifications, if funds are provided in the annual General Appropriations Act. The 2017-2018 CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding List, Updated indicates district-level industry certifications for occupational areas identified in the General Appropriations Act as funding-eligible. Section 1008.44, F.S., requires that this list be adopted annually.

SUMMARY: The updated 2017-2018 CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding list adopted by this rule will be used by the Division of Florida Colleges and the Division of Career and Adult Education for the distribution of postsecondary incentive funding related to the student attainment of industry certifications.

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 proposed rule does not require legislative ratification and is not expected to have any impact on the factors found in section 120.541(2)(a), F.S., and is not expected to require legislative ratification. The proposed amendment increases the number of industry certifications for which Florida College System and district postsecondary institutions are provided monetary incentives to offer the certification program to their students. These certifications have been evaluated and determined to be rigorous and tied to the statewide occupational demand in Florida.

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.
