PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To revise Form ESE 139 as incorporated by reference.

SUMMARY: To revise forms for the school district summary budget, incorporated by reference.

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: Based on past experience with revising required forms for financial reporting for school districts in accordance with laws and rules of the State Board of Education, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, does not exceed, nor would it be expected to exceed, any one of the economic analysis criteria set forth in section 120.541(2)(a), F.S. and will not require legislative ratification. Revisions include account additions to reflect updates to governmental accounting standards reporting requirements.

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.
