RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
69K-17.0036: Course Required for Initial Licensure and Registration.

NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 38 No. 21, May 25, 2012 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

The following summary of the agency’s statement of estimated regulatory costs is provided:

Approximately 170 persons apply for licenses each year that require the communicable disease course. The required 2 hour course is offered by online vendors for $50 or less. Assume that the value of the applicant’s time is valued at $12 per hour; the time to register for and complete the course and obtain the certificate of completion is estimated at 2.5 hours; total time cost is thus $30. Add the cost of the course, and the total cost per affected person is estimated at $80. However, this is a reduction from the current situation, which requires a course in HIV-AIDs in addition to a communicable disease course.
