  • RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
    68B-3.001: Repeal of Chapters 57-1218 and 57-1219, Charlotte County Special Acts
    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed rule is to repeal two Special Acts of Local Application for Charlotte County. This proposed rule was requested by the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners. The first act prohibits the use of underwater lights while harvesting fish in waters of the county and the second act prohibits the use of any gig or spear in inland waters of the county. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has determined that these rules will not adversely affect the marine resources of Charlotte County or of the State of Florida. With the repeal of these Special Acts, spearing and the use of lights in Charlotte County waters would fall under the same rules that apply statewide.
    SUMMARY: Rule 68B-3.001, F.A.C., (Repeal of Chapters 57-1218 and 57-1219, Charlotte County Special Acts) would be created to repeal Chapters 57-1218 and 57-1219, Charlotte County Special Acts from the Florida Administrative Code.
    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:
    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.
