Board of Nursing Home Administrators
RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:
64B10-11.001Application for Licensure Fee
NOTICE OF CHANGE
Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 40, No. 64, April 2, 2014 issue of the Florida Administrative Register.
The change is in response to concerns stated by the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee in a letter dated April 10, 2014.
The changes are as follows:
The SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION shall read as: 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. During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board considered that the rule amendment incorporates a revised version of the existing application form. The revision does not add any additional requirements and will have at most a small impact on existing requirements and procedures. Therefore, the rule amendments appear to have little or no economic impact, and accordingly, the Board does not believe a SERC need be prepared nor will the rule require legislative ratification. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time.
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.
The revision date on the “Application for Nursing Home Administrators Examination and Endorsement/Temporary” form DH-MQA-NHA002 will be changed to 6/2014.
Reference to Section 456.013, F.S. will be added to the “Law Implemented”.
