RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

69A-21.112Insurance Requirements

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule provides that the insurance requirements for a fire equipment dealer subject to subparagraph 633.304(4)(d)3., F.S., are set at $300,000 for Class A or Class D licensees, $200,000 for Class B licensees, and $100,000 for Class C licensees.

SUMMARY: Rule 69A-21.112, F.A.C., was previously amended to remove a form which required types of insurance which do not exist. The form also included the insurance amounts. This amendment reestablishes the coverage amounts without the problematic coverage descriptions in the now repealed forms.

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 performed an analysis and found the impact is not significant because the amounts of insurance required are not changing from what was previously required on the now repealed form.

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.
