PURPOSE AND EFFECT: 59C-1.042 outlines minimum requirements for levels II and III of Neonatal Intensive Care Services.

SUMMARY: Repeal of Rule 59C-1.042 is based on changes from HB 21 (2019-136, L.O.F.) which repealed provisions of Chapter 408 Part II relating to certificate of need for general hospitals.

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: The Agency has determined that no SERC is required and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S. is required based upon the Agency’s review of information at the time of analysis and the preparation of a checklist for each rule to determine the need for the creation of a SERC.

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.
