The SERC examined the factors required by Section 120.541(2), F.S., and concluded that the rule amendment will not have an adverse impact on economic growth, business competitiveness, or small business and that transactional costs are anticipated to be minimal after implementation of the rule amendment.

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: based upon the information contained in the SERC
