PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The provisions of Rule 6A-14.031, F.A.C., are addressed in Section 1007.27, Florida Statutes, and Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., therefore this rule is recommended for repeal to eliminate redundancy.
SUMMARY: The rule is to be repealed.
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.
