    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    61G1-13.001Experience Requirements

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to add an option by which the experience requirement for licensure by endorsement may be met and to lower the number of years of licensed experience that may be used in the alternative.

    SUMMARY: An option by which the experience requirement for licensure by endorsement will be added to the rule. The number of years of licensed experience for licensure by endorsement that may be used in the alternative will be lowered.

    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: During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) was not necessary and that the rule will not require ratification by the Legislature. 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.
