RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B24-5.001: Renewal of Midwifery License
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposal is to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, out of date, or no longer necessary.
SUMMARY: This rule was identified during the comprehensive rule review as communicating information that is out of date, redundant, partially duplicative of statute and, thus, appropriate for repeal. There are no other rules incorporating this rule.
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: This rulemaking will not have an adverse impact or regulatory costs in excess of $1 million within five years as established in Section 120.541(2)(a)1.2. and 3., 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.
