PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To adopt the 2020-21 CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding List. Section 1008.44, F. S., requires that this list be adopted at least annually. The ‘2020-2021 CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding List’ adopted by this rule will be used by the Division of Florida Colleges and the Division of Career and Adult Education for the distribution of postsecondary incentive funding related to the student attainment of industry certifications.

SUMMARY: The 2020-2021 CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding list adopted by this rule will be used by the Division of Florida Colleges and the Division of Career and Adult Education for the distribution of postsecondary incentive funding related to the student attainment of industry certifications.

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. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

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: This is because the amendment authorizes industry certifications through which school district technical colleges and FCS institutions earn performance incentive funding. These certifications have been evaluated to be rigorous and tied to the statewide occupational demand in Florida. This is not expected to have any adverse impact on economic growth, business competitiveness or any other factors listed in s. 120.541(2)(a), F.S., and will not require legislative ratification.

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.
