    PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: This rule is amended to reflect the updated name Florida College Investment Plan to the “Florida 529 Savings Plan.”

    SUMMARY: The Florida College Investment Plan’s new name will be “Florida 529 Savings Plan.”

    SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS:

    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.

    The Agency has determined that the proposed rule will not require legislative ratification pursuant to Section 120.541(3), F.S., or other applicable statutes: 1) no requirement for SERC was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S., and 2) based on past experiences with rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would be expected to exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

    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.
