RULE NO: RULE TITLE
64B32-6.001: Continuing Education Requirement

NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 35 No. 16, April 24, 2009 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

Although the rule notice stated that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) had been prepared and was available, the notice did not summarize the SERC.  The following is a Summary of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs:

1. The only costs to be incurred are rule making costs.

2. No transactional costs are expected to be incurred by applicants or other entities by the proposed modifications.

3. The proposed change may affect providers who offer the BLS course; however, there are other health care professionals that take the Basic Life Support course and use it as continuing education.

4. The Board has decided that competency in delivery of respiratory care services is enhanced by continuous updating of knowledge skill. 

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
